Two Color Paracord Solomon Bar

The Two Color Paracord Solomon Bar is the same knot used in making the Survival Bracelet. We are just going to add a little different twist to the popular bracelet. We will make it with two colors.

Step 1 Layout

Start with your two colors of paracord, lay them out as shown. One color on the left and the second color on the right.

Sorry for the delay... Pull the cords that are going horizontal. when tying knots you will have a Running End and a Standing End... the Standing Ends are the pieces of cord that you are NOT working with... the Running Ends are the ends you are working with. Here is a link that will help you tie the bracelet

How do I measure the cord to fit my 8" wrist? Do I cut it free from my roll of cord? What is the length of each strand? Red: Black: I don't want to cut it too short and have to waste any cord! Thanks. Triumphman. Fri. 6-17-11 10:51 am EST

recommend wearing gloves when doing the solomon style. unless you like blisters and sore spots on the side of your fingers ( personal experience) I make bracelets like this all the time and when you are tying them tight you can basicly get a friction ( rope burn) on your index finger from the cord.

For black to be on edge, simply flip it over. :)

While doing this I found out that you have to alternate which side of the cord you place "under" the knot! So if you go under the knot with the cord on the right you have to go under the knot with the cord on the left the next time. Then just continue alternating until the desired length.

Sooprfrk, You are absolutely correct... I might have neglected that little tidbit. Alternating the "under" cord you get the STRAIGHT Solomon Bar. If you don't alternate the "under" cord you will get the TWISTED Solomon Bar which is another cool project... here is a picture of the 2 Color TWISTED Solomon Bar.
