9. Tire Tread Paracord Survival Bracelet

This bracelet is woven for easy deployment.

Supplies you need:

• Two 9ft pieces of paracord
• Side release buckle
• Tape Measure
• Scissors
• Lighter

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.

Pull the ends through and firmly tighten around the buckle.

Fold the green paracord in half and pull the loop through the buckle.

Pull the ends all the way through the loop and tighten.

Pull until the paracord is snug around 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. (See photos below)

Measure the paracord to the length you want your bracelet.

Take your green paracord and fold the ends down to make two loops at the length you measured for your bracelet.

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

Take the left strand and pull it under the center pieces and up and over the right loop…
