Paracord Bracelet with Monkey Fist Button

Step 2 The Skully Button

The hardest part of the project, after procuring the skull beads, will be the monkey fist. It was intended for use as a weight on a heaving line, in order to get larger, non-throwable hawsers from ship to jetty. I think it is a nice looking knot, and also resembles a head with a turban on it.
Take the inner strands out of the paracord, as this reduces the bulky look

I remember seeing these at a Hobby Lobby which is a hobby shop in the New Mexico Area.

Bought these skull beads on at an Army/Navy surplus store today.  They are used in a Ranger Skull Bead Klick Counter.  A primitive device to count off steps and thus after so many steps a skull is pushed down.  Anyway, it cost about $3-4 and had 13 beads on it
