Dragon's Teeth Paracord Bracelet

Intro: Dragon's Teeth Paracord Bracelet

Hey everybody, today I will show you how to make the Dragon's teeth paracord bracelet

STEP 1: Gather Materials

For this instructable, you will need:
-paracord
-buckle
-scissors
-lighter
-needle nosed pliers
-jig (optional)

STEP 2: Creating the Setup

Alright, first we need to make a four strands cow hitch setup.

Step 1: Find the middle of the length of cord then fold it in half and make a loop
Step 2: Pull it through the buckle
Step 3: The loop will be the length of your bracelet, don't worry if it seems big, because the weave is pretty thick
Step 4: Take the right cord and bring it under and out the loop
Step 5: Loop it around and push it upwards from under the buckle
Step 6: Push the cord down through the small loop
Step 7: Tighten
Step 8: Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the other side

Step 9: Turn the bracelet 180°
Step 10: Bring the right cord down them upwards through the loop
Step 11: Bring the cord around and push it upwards from under the buckle then push it down into the small loop and tighten
Step 12: Repeat steps 10 and 11 for the opposite side

STEP 3: Making the Bracelet

Alright, you are ready to start making the bracelet.

Step 1: Push the opposite color cord under-over-over-under the core strands
Step 2: Make a loop with the right cord through the middle and out
Step 3: Make a loop with the left cord through the middle and out
Step 4: Pull the opposite color strand under three of the core strands then over the last one
Step 5: Bring the opposite color strand back around over the two middle core strands and under the leftmost core stand
Step 6: Repeat steps 2 through 5 until you reach the bottom of the bracelet

Step 7: Take one outer working strand and wrap it twice around the core strands
Step 8: Pull it down under two rows, cut and melt
Step 9: Cut both ends of the middle working cord (in this case the blue cord) and melt the ends

STEP 4: Finished!

It would be nice to know the required length of both colours.
And the starting distance between the two parts of the buckle to reach a given circumference. Thank you in advance.

That is really cool my brother makes them.

What is the finished length of a bracelet made with the 10-12 feet of cord that you recommended in the comments? I'm looking for a ratio as I want to use this pattern for a dog collar.

Thanks for posting this weave, it's super neat. :)

How much paracord of each color do you need?

[Guillotine]

I would start with around 10-12 feet, just to make sure that you have enough cord in case you need to make adjustments.

What size buckle did you use?

[Guillotine]

I used a regular 5/8 buckle for this design.
