Introduction: Paracord Comfort Handle
I was inspired to make this one day while I was carrying my archery target. I picked it up, and after walking with it for about 20 feet, I set it down, and noticed that there were some abrasion marks on my hands. The terrible handle on the bag was starting to cut into my hand. So i got out my paracord and got to it! Really, this could be applied to any handle, say on a backpack or laptop case.
Step 1: Materials
1. 10-15 feet of paracord depending on the size of the handle
2. A pair of siscors
3. A lighter
4. A measuring tape
5. 1 uncomfortable handle
Step 2: The Starting Braid
Find the center of the paracord, and loop it around the instde of the handle.Tie a knot to keep it in place
Step 3:
Take one strand and cross it over like so.
Step 4:
Take the other strand and thread it under the first.
Step 5:
Take the second strand and put it through the first loop.
Step 6:
Pull tight and repeat on the opposite side.
Step 7:
Continue with the knots. It should be looking like this.
Step 8:
Now that you have your finished comfort handle, you can carry your object without the risk of pain! Happy shooting! Or whatever your using the handle for.
Sort of.
Just a question for anyone reading this, are the instructions easy to understand?
Sorry, I did not understand...
yes, this is.
This is a great Instructable!
Especially with knitting/paracord/knot tying projects I find that the best thing to do is include a video that shows you going through the motions of tying a specific know. Having said that, I did find the instructions clear.
Cheers,
