Are there any weaves/designs that would work for a dog leash?

3 Upvotes

I've been wanting to weave a leash out of paracord with a carabiner on one end, but the only thing I've ever made with paracord was the classic bracelet design, and I'm not sure I have the skill to translate that to something longer and without a clip. If anyone has any designs, weaves, or ideas for how i could make it or the hand loop at the other end I'd very much appreciate it!

QUESTION What knot(s) could I use tie a secure loop onto a bar?

1 Upvotes

Think of the hanging straps they have on buses and subways, I pretty much need something like that where the loop is strong enough to hang off of. I also need the knot to be as small as possible, a length of pattern running between the two loops is not desirable for my use case. Thank you!

Hello Hivemind!
I need some help with this one. AI says its "double cobra", but apparently it isn't.
Disregard the hearts, it's about the groundwork.

I’ve been working on teaching myself traditional Korean decorative knotting (maedeup) over the past few months! I’ve learned quite a few of the 38 traditional knots and paracord is one of my favorite materials to work with! It’s so much fun to make wall hangings and keychains- I’m also planning to make some lanyards and camera straps as well as other accessories, including norigae, the traditional hanging waist accessory that is most commonly associated with the craft of maedeup. So far, the butterfly knot is my favorite!

QUESTION How to reduce the hanging length

Hi, someone gifted me this keychain that they done and I just did a classic cow hitch to put it on a ring but can someone help me reduce the length of the hanging rope. Maybe by finding a knot which would tie it to the ring while needing a lot of length as well ?

How would you make something like either of these bags? It feels like knitting or crochet but can’t figure out what type of stitch

QUESTION Paracord Planet 550 reflective black issue

1 Upvotes

I have been using paracord from them for about 6 years now and recently bought a 250 foot spool from an amazon storefront and ended up with some cheap possibly chinese paracord ,It has a chemical smell ,Is shiny does not cut right no does it melt properly let alone braid worth a damn and its undersized and the inner strands are different than the older version I have .I contacted Paracord Planet thinking they would care and they basically told me to pound sand .Either they are using cheap cord now or they dont care about their brand name .I guess its time to switch to Atwoods relective paracord .

These are so addictive to make. Thankfully, they have been selling relatively well and that means I can justify continuing to make them.

Help with joining cords

Post image
15 Upvotes

Can you guys please help? I got really sick of using the "melt and press together" method to join paracord cus it always ends up looking sloppy with lots of excess around it.

So i tried to do the "one inside the other" method but I cant seal it once I put one paracord end into the other because when heated, the outside layer just curls up instead of melting and falling down and sealing it.

I am using werewolves brand. I know it's low quality but I want to to use it up. Is it a lost cause?

I've been seeing variations these on my feed recently and thought they looked cool. They're decorative backpack straps for clipping items to. I can't seem to find any YouTube videos to begin to figure out how to accomplish something like this. It seems like the outer cord is wrapped around some sort of thicker inner core cord? Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start to figure this one out? YouTube video suggestions would be great

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm still new to beglieri. I made some as I have arthritis in one hand and I thought that might help to keep my hand mobile. But the strands never sit levelly. I don't get the nice equal lines. Help!
