Supplies:
- 13 ft of 550 paracord (makes 8.5″ bracelet)

-
Instructions:
Step 1: To get started, attach your paracord to one side of your buckle. Fold your piece in half and thread it through the buckle. Pull the ends through the loop you made and pull tight.
Step 2: Attach the other buckle and size it to your wrist by threading the loose ends through the second buckle piece. Pull the buckle up along the cord until you are at your desired bracelet length. Loop the ends back up towards the first buckle.
Step 3: Start weaving your bracelet. Hold the ends so the left free strand is on the left side of the buckle and the right strand is on the right side. Take the left strand around the front and loop it around all the pieces of paracord. Pull it back to the left side.
Step 4: Starting with the left piece, thread it over the left core section. Take it under the right core section, then over the right free strand. Now, take the right free strand. Keeping it under the left free strand – pull it over the right core section. Underneath the left core section and up through the loop created by your left strand. Pull to tighten.
Step 5: Now, start the second section with the free strand on the right. For the rest of the instructions from DIY Projects on how to make a paracord bracelet, click here!
4. Super Strong Paracord Survival Bracelet

5. Ladder Rack Knot Paracord Survival Bracelet

6. Cobra Paracord Survival Bracelet
This bracelet is nice and rugged, giving you a good amount of paracord and strength with this weave.
Supplies:
- 10 feet of paracord
- Side release buckle
- Tape Measure
- Scissors
- Lighter
Instructions:
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.
- Pull the ends through the buckle.
- Loop the ends of the paracord back through the loop.
- Pull tight to secure around the buckle.
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.
- 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. For the rest of the instructions from DIY Projects on how to make a paracord bracelet, click here.

This bracelet is woven for easy deployment.
Supplies you need:
- Two 9ft pieces of paracord
- Side release buckle
- Tape Measure
- Scissors
- Lighter
Instructions:
Step 1: For this tutorial, we are going to start with the green paracord. First, fold the green paracord in half to find the center. Take that loop and feed it through the slot on the female side of the buckle.
Step 2: Let’s go ahead and do the same thing with the black paracord to attach it to the male side of the buckle. Take the black strand of paracord and attach it the same way to the other end of the buckle. Pull it snug around the buckle.
Step 3: Now let’s prep our black paracord to attach it to the green paracord by making some bunny ear loops.
- First, you’ll want to measure the length of your bracelet using your measuring tape. Keep in mind that you want to include half of the buckle in this measurement. For this tutorial we are making a 7 inch bracelet.
- Using your finger to keep the length of the bracelet in tact, fold the two ends down to create two loops.
- Then take the right strand and pull it over the center and under the left strand.
- To finish it off, take the left strand under the center and up through the right loop.
- Take the left strand and pull it under the center pieces and up and over the right loop. For the rest of the instructions from DIY Projects, click here.
