Author Name: Jarod King

Hikers, rescue workers, military personnel and just about anyone find various uses for 550 paracord. It might sound a bit off that parachute cord can be anything but a piece of rope. This just shows how much flexibility this piece of rope has.

What are the ingenious ways of using a parachute cord? One idea is by making 550 paracord into bracelets. This can be of dual purpose. The bracelet can be worn as a stylish accessory, or as a good way of bringing a paracord in case of emergencies. There are different ways to braid a paracord for that out-of-the-box fashion statement. Paracord bracelets are even sold to raise money for various organizations, or as a source of income.

To create a paracord bracelet, measure about 3 meters of paracord. An alternative way of measuring is by stretching 550 paracord across arms outstretched twice. Fold it in half. Loop it across the wrists and make a knot. Then start weaving the loose ends over each other

There are several different techniques in braiding paracord to make bracelets. The most basic bracelet pattern is called the Cobra knot. From this, variations can be made to create a unique design. Among them are the box knot pattern, saw tooth pattern, snake knot, chain signet, and the wide Solomon knot. Each bracelet can be further made unique by using two differently colored paracord and weaving them together. Alternatively, different paracord can be spliced and then mixed to form a one-of-a-kind color pattern.

The finished bracelet can be secured by tying the ends or by using buckles. There are an assortment of buckles that can be used to secure the bracelet. Most popularly used is the side-release buckle. It is easiest and most convenient to clasp and unclasp. The ends of the parachute cord is advisable to be melted to avoid fraying.

Aside from wearing as an accessory, 550 paracord bracelet can also be used as a survival tool. The wearer is actually conveniently carrying several meters of paracord on the wrist. The bracelet is actually a clever way of bringing along a very handy tool. In case of emergency, the wearer can simply unwind the bracelet, and presto, a long parachute cord is ready for use. It is important to not, however, that spliced 550 paracord used for the bracelet has lesser strength. It is not to be expected to carry the standard 550 pounds that an un-spliced 550 paracord. The cut cords can still be used for any purpose that does not require much strength from the paracord. Other purposes include securing materials, secure smaller items, shoelaces, and as dental floss. It can even be used as stitching material to fix torn gear.
