Introduction: Paracord Dog Tag Holder
I've always wondered how can i attach the dog tag on the collar, so that do not jingle all the time. Here is my little solution to it.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
Materials:
>> paracord (about 2 ft.)
>> dog tag
Tools:
>> scissors
>> paracord needle
>> lighter
Step 2: The Lanyard Knot
At first we make a lanyard knot. A description of this can be found very quickly in the internet.
The lanyard knot
Step 3: The First Strand
Аt first we bring one end of the cord out.
Step 4: Knotting
We follow the bottom strand on the knot (on the right side) all the way and finally going thru the middle.
Step 5: Making a Loop
We start from the top with the second strand and form a loop. Then we follow another strand (on the left side) all the way. Finally we go under four strands thru the middle.
This technique i learned from Paracordist Creations LLC of www.paracordist.com.
Here you can find his YouTube video:

Step 6: Cut and Burn
Cut the cord ends off and shape the knot.
Step 7: The Finished Product
