Step 3: Poke the Holes.

Put the Altoids tin with the marked corner facing up and gently tap the knife with the mallet to poke the holes.

Step 4: Create an Indent.

create an indent by putting the Altoids tin in the vice sideways and tap the portion between the metal gently tapping and pushing the piece out.

Step 5: File It Down.

File the edges making sure nothing is sharp and the bumps that might have formed along the indent.

Step 6: Put the Paracord Through the Hole and Tie the Knot.

You will need to insert the Paracord into the hole of the indent you made and make it even on both sides.
