This is a fun key chain or fob that couldn't be easier to tie, in its simplest form it is simply a Solomon Bar that is continually doubled until the desired look is achieved.
CORD USED:

Hi UniqueRopeCraft,
Do you know anything about preshrinking paracord?Is it necessary? Does it only apply to some cords?
Thanks, Jack
@Jack: I've never given any thought to preshrinking paracord. Though it may shrink a little when wet, of the many bracelets I've worn, they've never shrunk to the point of becoming uncomfortable to wear.
I made something similar but wrapped up a bill inside to have emergency money on my keychain. And, since its tied up and tough to get to, it really makes it for true emergencies, not just inconveniences.
Everytime I try it wants to twist, it won't lay flat. Any help?
Simple and fun! I will post my result on http://paracord-projects.net/. Paracord is really useful and I find this to be a great way to store it!

Hey there!
This is a fun and very useful project! I have made these myself but I like to use a quick deploy cobra knot. It make it more of a survival item.

looks like a turtle. P-cord is great stuff, practical and strong.
