How to make a Cobra Weave Paracord Survival Bracelet

Supplies you need:

10 feet of Paracord
Side release buckle
Tape Measure
Scissors
Lighter

Step 1:

Once you cut your paracord to the desired length (about 10 feet), seal the end using your lighter. You don’t want to be working with a frayed end. Now, measure your wrist size by taking one end of the paracord and wrap it around your wrist. Lay that section next to your measuring tape to see how many inches long your bracelet will be.

Step 2:

Let’s first attach the male buckle to the paracord. To do this, fold your piece of paracord in half and pull the ends through the bottom slot of the buckle.

Then pull the ends through the loop created by your paracord. Pull them all the way through until the paracord is secured around the buckle.

Loop the ends of the paracord back through the loop.

Step 3:

Now let’s attach the other end of the buckle. Pull the paracord through the slot on the buckle. Using your measuring tape, slide the buckle along the paracord until you reach you desired bracelet length.

For this example, the bracelet is 6.5 inches. Be sure to include the center of the male end of the buckle up to the end of the female buckle in your measurements. (See picture below)

Pull on the second buckle to the length you measured for your wrist.

You will start your bracelet from the buckle you just threaded.

Step 4:

Now we are ready to make our bracelet!

Pull the left strand under the center pieces and over the right strand.

Pull the right strand over the center pieces.

Pull the right strand over then under and through the left strand.

Pull each strand outward to tighten your first knot.

Step 5:

You made your first knot! Now let’s do the same thing, but start with the right strand.

Take the right strand and pull it under the center pieces and over the left strand.

Pull the left piece over the center pieces.

Take the left piece over the right piece then under and pull through the loop.

Step 6:

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you get to the bottom buckle. Then follow the instructions below to complete your bracelet.

Continue until you reach the bottom buckle.

Pull the ends through the second slot in the buckle.

Lift up the last braid so it forms a small loop.

Pull the ends through the loop made by the braid.

Step 7:

Using your scissors and lighter, cut and burn the ends.
