[@westindianson00]

ABSOLUTELY the BEST tutorial on KZbin!!! I’ve watched so many videos and still wasn’t getting it. I want to be crafty and creative and I can’t thank you enough!!! I made a Paracord bracelet!! I’m so excited! I’m a Veteran with PTSD and this takes my mind off the issue and relaxes me !! Thanks again!!!

[@andrewoperacz7427]

Wry cool!! Super beginner here!!!

[@kellygears8514]

Thank you! Of all the videos on how to make cobra knots, yours is the best and the easiest to understand and follow. I love practicing making new knots before picking the right color to get started for real. I have 2 practice paracords that I use. Thanks once again!!

[@michelemock810]

Excellent tutorial. Concise and clear. Just what I needed! Thank you so much.

I love watching paracord video making as a way to help me improve my English, and your video is one of the best I've seen so far. Thanks for your work. Cheers from Brasil.

[@jamiedundas1862]

First time doing a twin colour (actually only 2nd bracelet) video so easy to follow in real time. Perfect 😊

[@jolynnlowanse300]

One of the best instructional videos I have ever used! You are very articulate and easy to follow. You have allowed enough time for the viewer to comprehend and act upon your instructions! Thank you sir!

[@Trab9000]

Thank you. I'm glad it helped you.

[@designbysean]

My dad he’s your videos ALL the time we make paracord Bracelets together I love your videos thank you

[@designbysean]

Uses I meant

[@gailmiles7850]

Thank you Bart for an easy to follow instruction video. I definitely need to purchase that jig instead of battling without one. If I master one bracelet I will be so happy. I'm in my senior years but you're never too old to start a new hobby!

[@elijahmonn3757]

gail miles the jig is fairly easy to make. Basic woodwork skills is all you need. I made mine 1m long. From 12mm pli board. Cut a 6mm slot down the middle. Buy a 6mm coach bolt with a wing nut. Cut two end pieces and glue and screw permanently to one end. The other Block drill a 6mm hole in the middle of the block. Fed the coach bolt through the bottom of the pli board slot and through the wooden block. Tighten with the wing nut. That should make the block slidable up and down your jig. I reinforced mine along the bottom with 20x20x40mm dressed timber. Forming a border. To date it has cost $4 to make. You’ll need a skill and drop saw. And a drill. Cheers Brent

[@elijahmonn3757]

I get the feeling the guy that made this video. Made his own jig. He looks like he has the skills.

[@Rayray-dk3lb]

I've watched dozens of videos on this and this is by far the most concise and clearly explained. Kudos!

[@giancarlomarcato363]

Thank you. I just have built up your tool and repaired THE paracord bracelet of my son. Beat regards. Giancarlo

[@rhondalynn8682]

I have watched ALOT of videos on how to make these and this is the best one I have seen. Great info, easy to understand, and professional. Thanks for posting this.

[@Trab9000]

Thanks Rhonda!

[@LouMotley]

Thank you very much, excellent video...made my first 2, multi colored cord bracelets today. You are a great teacher. 👍

[@ocsurfgirl]

Thanks for posting. I like the bracelet you're wearing. Could you please post a video on that one?

[@darlenewalsh3864]

Hi again. Well I followed your advice and stated the cords like you said rather than a lark knot. Brilliant! I’d like to see other simple designs. You are a great teacher. I’m sure I can learn more than cobra. Happy Easter 🐇🐣🐰

[@LivingFULLSick]

Thank you for such a wonderful informative video!!! You're a really really great teacher!!!

[@janeensanders7093]

Thank you for the fantastic video! I just completed my very first paracord bracelet by following your video and , if I may say so myself, my bracelet came out perfect!!!

[@chrisbyars4422]

Your tutorial is very easy to understand, the first time I tied this type of bracelet I did a good job. Little pointers like how to melt the cut ends or how to conceal the core of the paracord were vey helpful. I subbed, thank you for your presentation!

[@Trab9000]

I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. I hope to make some new videos soon.

[@zandermagic]

Awesome video, thank you! Very well done and nicely shot! Really appreciate it! 😀👍

[@kimgritz7447]

A middle school student of mine was wanting to learn how to make these during her Genius Hour but she was having difficulties. She showed me this video and we put together some wood and clamps to make a mini jig and it worked okay. I went on Amazon and found the jig, ordered two and now this struggling student can make one in one class period! She is soooo proud of herself! Thanks so much for making the great video and making the jig inexpensive enough that I would be able to purchase it for my classroom.

[@Trab9000]

These kinds of comments are what makes me loving doing these kinds of videos. I'm glad we could help you and your student create these fun bracelets. Please feel free to send pics of your work to me. I'd love to see it. Thanks!!

[@susan1098]

All kidding aside I did enjoy the tutorial and made me one. Thanks.

[@QueenElla92]

You are very helpful I would have been sitting here for hours trying to figure this out lol I'm making a parachute cord Keychain and this is my first time you should definitely keep making these tutorials!!!

[@mikep8879]

Very Clear!!! Thank you sooo much!!

[@AudreyRusso]

Thanks so much...the best instructional video on paracord cobra bracelets on the web...simple, pragmatic...and I did it in 10 minutes the first time!!

[@Trab9000]

+Audrey Russo Thanks Audrey. 10 minutes is pretty fast! :)

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Excellent video. I've been looking for someone to show a basic start to finish cobra stitch bracelet. I really like the jig also. Well done, thank you.

[@donnalannan2978]

Nice demo! Thanks!

[@Trab9000]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@darlenewalsh5289]

very well done! thank you is there anyway we can not cause a burn mark on white?

[@Trab9000]

Thank you for the nice comment. As for not marking white cord when burning, the only thing I can tell you is maybe take it very slow but I've never been able to keep white cord from darkening when burning the ends. You could get a white paint marker and just paint the end when you are done. I do that for other colors so it should work for white. Good Luck!

[@varamirez31]

Wow so easy! Loved your tutorial! I’ve been trying for years to make these bracelets! I’ve bought the materials to do this as a craft for my nieces but I couldn’t figure it out. Your tutorial has really helped me! I’m going to have to get a jig to help me! 🤗

[@TheJennaCat]

Hi Bart! THANKS!!! This is a super video. :-) I followed along and made my first bracelet with you in 10 minutes, total. The tying part took 5 minutes, then it took me 5 more minutes to get the courage to burn the ends. I'm an adult, but I stay away from fire... LOL!! Anyway, I am so excited... this was so quick and easy, and thank you very much. Now, I know what to buy my teenage granddaughters for Christmas! ;-)

[@extremepara]

Glad the video helped and you were able to knock out your first bracelet. If you are on facebook, you can find me there and post up a pic of your work. I'd love to see it. :)

[@FOG_KNOT]

Hey Bart! Any tips for my finished bracelet being shorter than the jig measurement? 7” wrist, 8” verified jig measurement, finished product about 7-3/4.” Thanks!

[@SSobotkaJr]

I did like the alternate way to make the 2nd Larkshead, and trying it it does make for a smoother transition in the first knot. But I'll need to practice when I actually try a double-color weave, because I learned a different way to tie a single cobra. Still this was informative, and appreciate you guys for posting it.

[@JenuineAirbrushTan]

Thank you! I love the over over and under tip. I keep looking at the diagram that came with my jig maybe I'm just a cord klutz but I thought I'd mess it up. I think this will totally help and I've been wanting to try doing a 2 colour bracelet. Cheers!

[@Trab9000]

Glad I could offer some help. I have more videos on my new channel. Check it out for more tutorials. kzbin.info :)

[@JenuineAirbrushTan]

thanks will do. so much to learn.

Nice tutorial, Bart. Easy to understand and follow.

Thank you.

[@amandajones6481]

Thank you for making this really easy to follow video. You're an excellent teacher. I've watched other videos on how to do this square - knotting, but your video is the best by far. I'm wondering could I make a collar for my dog using the para cord and the same clasp that you used to make the cool bracelet?

[@Trab9000]

Thank you. This means alot to me.

[@queentae1819]

THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO IT HELPED ME .

[@131425434]

My wrist is a comfortable 6 1/2. So if I wanted to make a 2 color cobra how much inches of each paracord would I need???

[@Trab9000]

You would need to make the overall bracelet 7.5" so you would need a total of 8' of cord. 4' of each color. :)

[@oceanbluelady7760]

So basically it is a Macreme square knot. Cool I know Macreme! Great video!

[@user-jm7fc5dt1l]

I really needed this I've looked through a couple of videos on how to make a double colored bracelet and they all were so hard to understand but this video was so nicely explained and clear,do recommend

[@IMRad4JC]

QUESTION: Hey, Bart, since the burned ends really seem to show on white or light colors of cord, wouldn't it work just as well to use a glue instead like E6000 or the like which is powerful, waterproof, and dries clear? Love this instructional video...I'm gonna try making my own now!

[@Trab9000]

Cindy, I usually use a colored marker to cover up those burnt ends to make the white go away but glue could easily be used also. One note though, I don't like the cords glued down as it makes it harder to get the bracelet apart if you need it in an emergency.

[@cookie70452]

Great video, keep them coming.

Thanks Matt. I plan on making a bunch more.

I started watching this video because I thought it was going to be a cringy adault doing arts and crafts I finished it with an Amazon order and wondering what I could make with this pattern maybe a kind of belt I could use for work because we are aloud to use belts watches and shoes to ad personality to our uniform I'm now planning on doing some arts and crafts cool video

[@ABlanton2626]

my daughter and i thank you we had a hard time trying to make a bracelet for her until we watched your video thank you very much it was very detailed

[@Trab9000]

I'm glad to hear it helped you and your daughter. :) happy knotting!

[@siggishwiggish3513]

I'm thinking a multicolored bracelet would mainly be for decorative purposes. If you needed it in a survival situation you would have two short pieces instead of one longer piece. You could bend the pieces together but it would still be weaker than a continuous line. Overall however, a well made and very instructive video.Thanks!

[@Trab9000]

I would completely agree. I used two colors here as I needed the contrast to show how the bracelet is tied with clarity. For survival, I would just use one piece of cord.

[@tiajewels2820]

Would love to know how to make the JIG?

[@lpeezynation2003]

thank you so much for this video! Would you recommend using a jig for first time users? I would love to use it! :)

[@Trab9000]

Using a jig does make it alot easier. I started tying without one but built one soon after. Get a simple jig. You don't need much.

[@theresesarnelli1645]

Thank you! You are way better than the rest!

[@Trab9000]

Thank you. I'm glad the video helped.

[@nkosiakinlabi3135]

Wouldn’t the burnt ends get hard when cooled and scratch the hell out of your wrist?

[@Trab9000]

Great question. If you follow the procedure here you won't have that problem. It might take a little practice on how long you cut the ends ( I typically do about 2mm or 1/8") them when you melt the ends, before it cools, press them in with the metal part of the lighter flush with the cord where it comes out of. Hope this helps.

[@MeyersCTR]

Confidence inspiring. Thanks

[@Trab9000]

Paul Meyers -Thank you.

[@promotordeaguademar1975]

Bart.: How long is your jig to make a paracord??? App the reply.

[@Trab9000]

+Promotor de agua de mar This jig goes up to 11". We also have them up to 48". Thanks!

[@michaelsiddle837]

I heat up a piece of flat metal like the end of a screwdriver and press that against the cut end of the cord. That melts it without blackening the end.

[@Trab9000]

Great tip! (No pun intended) Thank you for sharing. When I do my ends, I take a color matched sharpie and color the ends.
