A friend of mine asked me to make a necklace for him. I did the diamond back braid and attached it to a 1/2 in. side release buckle. Turned out good and seems to be popular.
The steering wheel cover just stretches around and does not fit tight. I was asked to wrap it if I could. I made it just like a dreamcatcher but only made 2 passes inside.
This a pic of a neck knife I made for my wife. I also wrapped the handle.

Here is a pic of some knife lanyards and a couple of bracelets that match 2 of them. These were all requested items. All the knives I used are Columbia River Knife And Tool products. Several vendors offer these knives. I search the web for the best prices.

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.
