Paracord Monster Cobra

Step 1: Supplies

Cut 12-13 feet of cord three colors I'm using two strands of blue and one grey it doesn't matter if you have two grey and one blue either way it works. Depending on wrist size the one I'm doing is for a 8" wrist. You'll need •Scissors •Lighter •Buckle Jig (not required)

Step 2: Attach Both Colors to Your Buckle

I'm using a 5/8 buckle in this instruct able which is better for larger bracelets but you can use whatever size you want.

Step 3: Adding the Other Color

Find the middle of your grey

Step 4: Add the Grey

Step 5: Forming the Weave

Bring the right side across the top. Then bring the left side across that.

Step 6: Forming the Weave

Now run the left side under and through the hole. Keep the top color that you want in the middle on top of the other color.

Step 7: Tighten

Now pull it tight and make sure to keep the cords on the side from overlapping.

Step 8: Repeat

Repeat all the way to the bottom. Until you reach the end make sure to keep your cords straight.

Step 9: Making Your Way Down

Step 10: You've Reached the End!!!

Now that you've reached the end the next step is to cut and burn.

Step 11: Cut

Step 12: Burn

Step 13: Done!!!

You now have a finished monster cobra!!! That's packed full of cord for any survival situation!!!

[shaggydoo121]

When you come to the end how do you hook it to the opposite end of the buckle ?

[the_names_levesque]

what colored strings did you use for the bracelet in the FIRST pic you putted?

[mitch1742]

Very neat.

Mine isnt turning out good bit in doin it right

[biggiggy]

For those of you needing to find a way to end the bracelet I have come up with a way that I think works well. Take the two remaining cords and form a loop. Pass the loop down through the buckle then proceed to run it back over the top into a farmer's knot. Pull tight, cut ends, then melt the ends together. It isn't what is used in the picture but its quite functional.

very neat bracelet. Would appreciate some detailed instructions on how you threaded the base (blue) cord using two 12-ft strands. I know this comment may frustrate you and I'm sorry for that but would appreciate the instructions none the less....

Thanks!

Wow so cool

[bulldog50]

good job I use a wood burning tool to finish off cord. I use the wedge shaped one pres on cord cut it then hold tip to cord it will give you a nice flat end that will not pull out

[theparacorders]

Yes

[theparacorders]

Every cord

[pyrocop1]

Looking at your design It appears there is a way to use one solid color looping back to the top for an even longer cord if needed. Instead of the two separate blue pieces for example. Looks good though

[ArticAkita]

awesome! good job!

[wdsims63]

Again, you left out a step. How did you attach the cord to the end of the buckle? Also, why are you just using the 2 cords coming down and not the others that you are braiding?

[TheParacorder]

Take a look at mine, it shows how
