Paracord Adjustable Sunglasses Strap (Super-Simple)

In this Instructable, you will learn how to make an extra-easy, super-simple paracord sunglasses strap/lanyard. The lanyard uses a simple cord lock to make it adjustable, and an extra-tight noose on each end to attach to the glasses.

Step 1: Ingredients

Here's what you need:

- Sunglasses or Eyeglasses (Obviously...)
- Paracord (around 3-4 feet)
- Cord lock (one- or two-holed is fine)
- Pocket knife or scissors
- Lighter
- Ruler
- Hemostats (Optional... they make things easier, though!)

If this was made into a kit, it would include 4 feet of paracord, a cord lock, one of those cheapo lighters, a cheap plastic ruler, mini-scissors, and cheap hemostats (I got mine for about $3).

Ahhh, excellent kit/design set you have here. IF, using the lighter isn't available-(parents, ages trying this out, work rules using a lighter, need it now instead of during your break,etc.) contact cement with the 10min. wait time works as well in fussing the ends of the Paracords to prevent unraveling and fused together past the installation of the Cord lock.
As an additional item IF you find yourself w/out either access to the Lighter, or Contact cement, is Sail twine. Most deck sailors will know how to wrap any line-(rope) using the basic wrap and tie offs even without the 'hidden' ends inside the wrap. Geeze, now I feel guilty not providing a Video to demo.....
