What is Paracord?
"Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. This cord is useful for many other tasks and is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians.
The yarns of the core (commonly referred to as "the guts") can also be removed when finer string is needed, for instance as sewing thread to repair gear, or to be used as fishing line in a survival situation. The nylon sheath is often used alone, the yarn in the core removed, when a thinner or less elastic cord is needed such as when used as a boot lace. Ends of the cord are almost always melted and crimped to prevent fraying.
In addition to purely utility functions, paracord can be used to fashion knotted or braided bracelets, lanyards, belts, and other decorative items. These are sometimes tied in a fashion that can easily be unraveled for use in a survival situation. Some companies use paracord in conjunction with other survival components to create everyday wearable survival kits.
Hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts sometimes use "survival bracelets" made of several feet of paracord which is woven into a compact and wearable form. Such bracelets are meant to be unraveled when one needs rope for whatever purpose - securing cargo, lashing together poles, fixing broken straps or belts, or assisting with water rescues. Young survivalists (boy scouts) are also taught the importance of using the paracord as a survival tool.On the other hand, the paracord is a poor choice for an emergency tourniquet as its small diameter will crush tissue without applying the needed pressure to stop bleeding.
Additional uses for parachute cord are in the manufacture of items such as lanyards, belts, dog leashes, rosaries, and key chains. This is becoming more popular as crafters are discovering this material."

[@karlo8093]

Thanks!! Just finished making my first one using some smaller 330 paracord. Simple and not terribly long to do. Thanks again!

[@farukerberdi8054]

Watched the video couple times and made it.... Casio Gshock Rangeman Easy to follow and looked great !!! Thanks for the detail PC101.

[@allisonjayetv3297]

Its hard to tell in the beggining if this is all one continuous strand or 2 seperate ones. It would be nice if the whole jig was in the frame

[@MCAS1924]

If you started at the watch and tied toward both buckles you could change the battery more easily. Nice work, a good choice as that knot is soft and flexible.

[@sped6954]

Greg Stewart To change the battery all he has to do is remove one of the pins. The strap will keep its shape after it's worn for a few days. The idea here is to have one continuous length of paracord if needed. Another benefit of doing it this way is if one of the pins breaks while it's being worn, the watch and strap will stay attached to your wrist. If it's 2 separate bands and a pin breaks the watch falls to the ground, possibly cracking the crystal or damaging the case. It's being done like this intentionally. True your way is easier to change the battery, but it's only about 20-30 seconds faster.

[@djecpamba]

Awesome, I’ve been trying to think of a way to craft a bracelet for a sport watch with a broken rubber/plastic/crappy band. Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@justmike57]

I like the looks of this band, but have to gut the cord on most digital watches. Very happy with this one, It's a keeper.

¡Listo! Lo acabo de terminar hace minutos y quedó excelente. Muchas gracias Paracord 101 por este tutorial. ÉXITO. Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela 27/05/2019 :)

[@Rick_Schott]

Great video. When I got done with the watch band I made a bracelet for giggles. I did this for a plastic Casio watch, needed to grind out quite a bit between the lugs using a Dremel and even at that I could only get three strands behind the pins but it doesn't seem like a problem. Excellent instruction and very good music which made the inevitable rewatchings no problemo. Liked and subbed.

[@Paracord101]

You can change the battery! Simply remove the pins and the strap will keep its shape.

Watched the video couple times and made it...cut a lot out of the Casio like mentioned previously. Easy to follow and looked great. Thanks for the detail PC101. Todd - Of mention in description, Stormdrane is David Hopper, not Dennis.

+sgtshedd Thanks. I will make the change.

I like the music. Good looking watch band too.

[@MattHobsonDrummer]

thank you. my first go at this and following your video made a great watch strap.

[@JeepsCafe]

Glad I found your vid your instructions are simple and concise, now i can paracord my watch. Thumbs up and subscribed .

[@mcdeer2480]

Really nice video, but you could show how make it without your holder. I made this splice with few problems because of lack of tips. I had to combined a lot but finally my watch looks great. Thanks

[@ronwalsh]

Very nice. I was planning on buying one of these, but you have shown that I can save the cash and make my own.

[@JoseSilva-bc6dz]

Show, muito bem trabalhada, muito bem explicado em todos os detalhes, muito bom, ótimo. 👍👍👍👋👋👋

[@RobinTaiwan2008]

What do think about gutting the section of paracord directly behind the watch? I'm thinking of trying this to reduce the thickness.

[@malcolmx1155]

Wouldn't that make it weak?

[@dukewheeler7846]

You could make 2 of these but shorter, connecting them to the spring pins rather than the clasp

[@geoffmoore1478]

And if you lose one pin the watch will stay on the band, handy in water so watch doesn't sink to the bottom.

[@sped6954]

Geoff Moore Also if it's one continuous length and you need 6 feet of paracord you have it. If it's in 2 separate sections all you have is a couple of 4 foot sections. Also the watch could be damaged if one of the pins breaks and the watch takes a 4 ft trip to the pavement.

[@tacticaldude35]

Cool paracord bracelet

muito bom amigo gostei muito do seu vídeo agora posso arrumar a pulseira do meu relógio, quando eu fizer mando pra você uma foto, já estou inscrito no seu canal. Abraços

[@StormLaker]

The instructions I had told me to thread the cord under the pins of the watch...... next time I will use your trick and remove the pins first, haha. Thankfully everything worked just fine, but your way looks a lot simpler to accomplish:-).

[@ricardotrivino4459]

Lo hice y resultó fabuloso,gracias por compartir.

ficou muito legal!!! parabéns..

[@marcuschauvin7039]

i am making this for my "out door" watch.

[@MajikCatSecurity]

How many inches did you set the jig for? Telling us you just measured your wrist and go from that is not good enough. It seems to me that the length will also affect how you measure out the starting run of three strands. A LITTLE bit of talk and explanation would be nice.

[@1luomotigre]

[@ibanezrg320fm]

You must have practiced a lot because I just did this for my first time and it came out sloppy. Your icon picture in the beginning looks amazing! I'll just have to do it all again. Then again. Then maybe one more time. I did notice that this cord has directions on it. Like as you wrap one string around another, you can tell it wants to tangle sometimes or it wants to go in that direction. I think with a little more string taught it could look nicer.

[@Paracord101]

Yes , I do practice and I have made thousands of paracord bracelets. So, I hope I know what I am doing. Thanks for watching! The longer the cord is, the more likely it will tangle. It is a part of paracording.

[@carlosmanrriquequispe9187]

carlos Deza Quinomues

[@bigdividends5487]

cool vid but what if you have a bigger wrist than that or smaller

[@Paracord101]

then use more paracord for a larger wrist and less paracord for a smaller one.

[@syedmohamed7053]

Beautiful

[@davideveritt6685]

Looks simple enough. How would 325 paracord work for this? Too thin?

[@Hala_Mohamed99]

[@thomasw6850]

Unfortunately this method won't work with smart watches having pulse and other sensors on the back of the watch

[@Paracord101]

Right, it is for a traditional watch...

I like how u did this but i wanted to do this with my ka-bar knife sheath so that i can wrap it around my leg and it doesnt have pins that i can take off to attach the strap to ,and is there any other way i could do it?

[@boriszegarra7382]

muy buen trabajo excelente voy hacer uno igual saludos

[@rogerwilcoxii359]

Does anybody know were there is a drawing or instructions for the 2x4 jig used in the video?

[@G0dfall171819]

How did you make that adjustable base? Been trying to see how I make one for the bracelets that don't use clips so that I can have the ends held tight but at a closer distance

[@ModestoDeLosSantos]

Hi! I really liked this instructions. Out of curiosity, do you have any instructions on how to make the bracelet you show at the end of the video? the one that is blue and yellow?? Thanks in advance.

[@enigma242333]

Nice job on video. Would you recommend (as some book do) to first wet the paracord and hang to dry to allow for shrinkage before doing this kind of work?

[@Tripsolo65]

Do you have the dimensions for the jig you are using? Or, possibly have the instructions for making one?

Buenas amigo una pregunta de las tiras blancas que tiene la cuerda que son 7 tú le retiras algunas para poder colocar el reloj dado que ya en varias ocaciones he tratado de colocarlas pero me es imposible y quiero terminarlo gracias amigo

[@Paracord101]

You may need to remove several core strands in the core. Some watches are too small for this design.

ficou muito bom, só uma duvida?!?!?! Como eu faço pra troca a bateria caso acabe?!!?!?!?!?! é só remover os pinos??? não vai desfazer o Paracord? Qual a espessura de paracord vc usou??

To change the battery, just remove the pins. The strap will keep its shape.

Nice, I love the look of this weave. I'm making a belt (I think the weave I've been using is called the slatts weave), but I hate that it's asymmetrical. Is there a way to make this wider for a belt?

[@joserobertodetilio7561]

Como você tira a medida do pulso.

[@warheart999]

cool but...what about when you need to change the battery? the strands are in the way!

[@Paracord101]

***** You correct. The cords are in the way. However, it is easy to re-make once you've done it.

[@swadaba]

***** you can remove the pins without changing the bracelet ;)

[@muglymae7408]

I have a question: if I wanted to sell paracord bracelets of different designs in a craft store or at a public event, are there legal limitations I'd have to follow for that?

[@Paracord101]

+Mugly Mae The proper etiquette is to site the designer by first, last name and where the design can be located. Feel free to use my designs if you choose to make and sell them as long as you follow the proper etiquette.

[@muglymae7408]

So, for example, a tag attached to each bracelet should read Original Design created by: This Person's Name As Shown on This Site located on KZbin?

[@jimmboogooo6002]

Donde compro los accesorios, algien me puede decir?

[@moritzinsupp1249]

Excellent job. how do you know where to stop and place the watch? will definitely try to do one!!!

[@Paracord101]

+Moritz Insupp Since wrist sizes vary and so do watches... you will need to estimate... and possibly redo if needed.
