I use a paracord size of 325 or 1/8". You can do smaller if you have skinnier arms, but if you like to use a larger cord, you will have to scale the prints up a bit.
| == How to Make a Paracord Wristband == |
Choose a connecter depending on the area or your preference. They will be used to hold the paracord in place while you are weaving. The stakes are for outdoors and for the hooks, you can hang one end to an object and the other to a weight.
To measure the cord, wrap the end of the paracord around your wrist and add a little extra length. Take that measurement, multiply it by 12, and cut it.
Fold the cord in half, feed it through one of the buckles, and leave a loop to feed the other end of the cord into. Pull to attach the cord to the buckle. Remember the orientation of the other buckle so that it is not upside down and feed the cord through it.
Wrap the cord and buckles around your wrist as if you are attaching it to your wrist. Put your thumb or finger inside the band and make sure you can move it freely (don't use your pinky because it may make the band too tight)
Attach the buckles to the stakes/hooks to hold the band in a fixed position while you weave. Follow the images above to weave the band. Keep in mind that the knots alternate.
Repeat the steps and the band should look like this.
When you reach the end, test the band to see if it fits. Cut the loose ends of the cord and melt the tips. USE CAUTION WHEN USING FIRE. Ensure the fire is away from the buckles since it can melt and deform.
Your finished wristband should look something like this.
