Paracord bracelets are an outstanding form of craft, utility, and jewelry. However, they don't stand out. Most paracord weaves use at their core two strands of paracord, but the possibilities for the core are endless. In this example, I will be using the cobra knot. It is a very common knot with many tutorials. The key difference is the style here. This stands out! I couldn't say how many people have complimented me on it. My other bracelets just don't stand out. They have become common, though no less cool in my opinion. In five simple steps, you can improve your paracord ante with your own unique piece.

The Culture behind the "Makua" or fish hook is of great importance to Hawaiians. It symbolizes strength, prosperity, and abundance. Traditionally passed down from generation to generation.

Supplies

Materials:

1x Maui Fish Hook necklace: Maui Fish Hook Necklace
10ft of 550 paracord: Bored Paracord

Tools:

Lighter
Scissors
Super Glue

Step 1: Measure Necklace Length

Take your necklace and wrap it around your wrist. Mark the length that needs paracord.

Step 2: First Knot

For this demonstration, I will be using the cobra weave. However, there are many other weaves, feel free to go crazy. After all, this is about expression and creativity!

Start by laying the paracord underneath the necklace with the middle of the paracord under the two strands. Pull the right side over. Then loop the left side over the other piece and under the necklace. Then through the loop formed by the right side. The side that goes over will alternate each time.

Bored Paracord has a variety of other weaves fairly well explained: Bored Paracord

Step 3: Continue Weave

Repeat the first knot, this time putting the strand on the left over, then take the strand on the right and put it over under over. Make sure that your first step stays tight and snug at the head edge of the hook. Continue the weave, alternating the over-strand each time. Once it is long enough to wrap around your wrist and touch the edge of the hook, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Secure Necklace Ends

Take the necklace ends and wrap them around the hook. Next, do one last weave with the necklace ends inside it. Pull this one tight, so your bracelet stays adjusted. Push the slider up close to the weave with enough length to adjust it then cut the ends of the necklace and secure them into the slider with a small dab of super glue.

Step 5: Finish the Ends

Cut the trailing ends of the paracord down to about a quarter inch, then use the lighter to singe them. While they are still hot, take the flat side of the scissors and press the paracord down.

Congratulations you finished! All that's left to do is show off your new stylish/utilitarian Maui Fish Hook Bracelet.
