couldn't you just splice the paracord by pulling 1-2 inches of the inner strands out of one color, cutting them off, and then putting the other color inside? it seems to me like that would make a cleaner transition between colors.

Yeah, I haven't tried that yet. If you try it, let me know how it works.

You can also fuse the two cords together. The fuse should be in the core somewhere, about 1-1/2 inches before the end loop. Here's what mine looks like; you can see the (shiny) fuse mark peeking out of the middle. The black cord starts there while the orange cord goes out to make the loop and comes back through.

How do you make a multi-color with a buckle...I looked at the link above and that is for a single color...

I finally posted it, I hope your still interested. I also posted a quick release cobra weave as well. Sorry it took so long, I have been busy, and I forgot many times I got on the computer...

[tevers94]

Sorry I'm really busy today, so I won't be able to post pictures yet. I'll try to find time soon.

It is no big deal...no rush...

I'll try to post some instructional pictures for you tomorrow.

Secure both ends of center cord firmly or you get twists along length of project. Also, i use a hot-knife to cut and burn cord. it gives a neater, more snag free end if done right.

How do you make one to use a buckle?
