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.

This is a dog collar I made for a friend of mine. I used about 50' of paracord to make it. I used a 1" metal side release buckle that I ordered from country brook design. There's 6 strands for the core. It is made the same as the watch band on Storm Dranes blog.

This is a pic of a snake knot bracelet I made and used a small flat breakaway to finish it. This was my first attempt at the snake knot.
Here are a couple of monkey fist and a spiral braid. I tucked one end of the monkey fist and used the other end and did a series of half hitches to finish.
This is a pic of a king cobra bracelet I made for a friend. I used a solid piece of red 450 for the core srands and the cobra stitch. I pulled the nylon core out of the black and did the cobra stitch again. The black lays flat without the core and the spaces allowed the red to show pretty good. He is a Georgia Bulldog fan.
This is a neck lanyard I made for my daughter to put her keys on. I used her school colors so it would match her uniform. I started with a lanyard knot and used a cobra stitch then split into two cobra stitches and connected to a flat breakaway clip. Turned out nice and she was happy.

This is the handle of a 1907 wilkinson bay. It belongs to my father and he asked me if I could wrap the handle. I used a long 2 bight turks head done in camo. 450 paracord. I think he will like it.
