Lanyard For A Neck Knife

This is a pic of a neck lanyard I made for a knife I ordered from www.knifedealsplus.com . It's a simple square knot braid with a 3/8" side release buckle. It looks good and is very easy to get to when needed.

Snake Knot Key Fob

Find the center of your cords and place on a ring. I started out with a lanyard knot. Take the 2 back strands and pull them out to the side as shown in the pic.
Take the strand to the left across the front and around all three of the other strands..

Take the strand to the right and go behind the other cords as shown and through the loop on the right side.


Pull it tight and it should look like this.




Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 until you reach desired length. I like to use the lanyard knot to finish for looks. I hope this helps anyone having trouble.

Here are pics of a matching dog collar and leash I made. I used black and brown 450 paracord. The collar is done using the king cobra stitch and attatching to a 1" side release buckle. The leash is done using a diamondback braid. I think they will hold up for a long time with the material I used. The leash is 5' long and the collar is 20 1/2" . The dog this was made for has a 19 1/2" neck so there is a little room so it doesn't fit to tight.

A friend of mine asked me about putting dog tags on a bracelet. This is a couple of pics at my first attempt. The wide bracelet is from a tutorial I found on Storm Dranes blog. I don't think there's alot that can be done to put tags on it and this is the best idea I could come up with for now. It allows you to pull them out if needed and then placed back so they don't dangle around. If anybody comes up with anymore ideas I'd like to see it......please.
