The trend theme at Jewellery tinkering is the Paracord-Ribbon. originally used for parachuting. Paracord can be used to make cool sporty bracelets that you can customise in many different colours
And it's that easy:
To make a cool Paracord bracelet you need two 1.1 m long cords. These should be cut off smoothly and should not show any individual fibres.
The next step is to melt the strings together to a 2.2 m long string. To do this, hold the ends of the Paracord cords parallel to each other and melt them with a lighter. The cords must be pressed together relatively quickly until they are firmly joined. This can take a few seconds. Be careful not to touch the hot spot directly or inhale fumes.
To fix the buckle, you have to use a double loop to attach the cord halfway to the buckle (the part of the buckle that looks like a trident). Pull the ends of the cords through the other part of the buckle and lay them to the sides
Knot the Paracord bracelet from right to left. The open right Paracord band is passed in an arc to the left under the two guide cords. This creates a right loop. The cord is now laid over the left cord. The left end is then led to the right under the two guide cords and this loop is pulled through the right loop. Both cords must then be tightened evenly.
Then take the right paracord line and lead it in an arc to the left, this time over the guide lines and under the left Ribbon . Afterwards it is put through again to the right under the guiding cords. Tighten the ends evenly. This is the knotting technique for making the Paracord bracelet. The knotting technique is repeated until the desired length of the bracelet is reached.
Last but not least, the paracord ends are cut off with a three millimeter overhang each. The ends are pulled through the closure half and sclerosed with a lighter.
