You will need paracord, a lighter, a knife or scissors, and a cutting board( optional)

Step 2: Select Your Color of Paracord

It's your choice of color, dark or bright.

Normally 1' of paracord will make 1" of keychain. So use anywhere between 3'- 5' I will be using 4'

Using you knife or scissors.

Step 5: Wick Your Ends

Using your lighter, melt the ends, and pinch them with your fingers.

Step 6: Fold the Cord in Half
