Introduction: How to Make a Weaved Paracord Lighter Holder
In this tutorial I will show you have to make a weaved paracord lighter holder.
Step 1: Materials
Roughly 9' of paracord
Side cutters or another means to cut the cord
A lighter to burn the ends of the cord
Hemostats
A lighter to wrap
A carabiner or other type of clasp
Step 2: Starting to Wrap
Start by making a U in the cord with the bottom of the U at the bottom of the lighter. Leave about 9 inches over the top of the lighter for extra to be weaved back through at the end. Use a pencil and start wrapping around the light and pencil. The pencil will give you the slack you will need while weaving. You should be able to get about 16 wraps around the lighter. Once you are at the bottom put the end through the U you made and pull it closed.
Step 3: Starting to Weave
Now start with a hemostat at the top and pull your cord back up to the top over and under the wraps you made around the lighter. Make sure to keep pushing the cord over as close as possible to your last weave to keep everything uniform and tight. Make sure your last weave goes back up to help make the ending.
Step 4: Finishing Up
Leave as much or little cord as you want to make the carabiner adjustable. Time some knots in the ends of the cord and singe them with a lighter and your lighter is now complete.
Enjoy

You could but you would have to close in the bottom so the knife could not fall out and not tighten the weave as much so the knife is easier to get out.

How would you close the bottom? I plan on making this for several different items. One is a "big battery mod" e-cigarette, one for a folding knife and one for my cell phone.
