Lanyard

[daddyo]

I've been wanting to learn how to make some paracord lanyards, so I finally made myself sit down and practice a couple over the weekend. You guys who have been doing this for a while know how much patience it takes and how frustrating it can be till you start to get the hang of it.

Here's one I made for my Benchmade Mini-Grip. Took me all morning to get the pattern right.

Looks good to me. I don't have the patience for it.

Very nice! It hadn't occured to me until now that my mom used to be the arts and crafts lady at camp... She loves to lanyard! I'm gonna get a spool and see if she'll hook me up.

I watched some youtubes this past weekend 'cause I wanted to make a rifle sling out of paracord. The cool looking weave I wanted proved too much for my patience. The more simple braid said to start with 20'. I played it safe and went with 22'. The result was a sling barely over 2'. LOL! My braid was super tight in spots and super loose in spots.

Someone here or GOC was selling paracord rifle slings and I wish I'd sprung $30 for one now.

You seem to have a lot of talent ! I'd love to do that with my lanyard that I made for my Swiss Army Knife .
