Unique Camera Bag

I first saw this tying design on Stormdrane’s blog where he created a pouch and a koozie using this method. Ever since I first saw it, I wanted to create one of my own but I never had a need for it until I purchased a new camera.

I needed a new camera for better photos for the blog and had been looking at the Nikon CoolPix for a while so I bought it. I received a good deal on the camera, but with every good deal there are drawbacks, the price didn’t include a camera case. It didn’t matter because I knew I wanted to make my own anyway.

Unique Striped Solomon Bar

The Striped Solomon Bar is a regular Solomon Bar with gutted strip of paracord weaved through the center of the bracelet in a straight line. It's pretty easy to tie, just weave the gutted strip in as you are tying the Solomon Bar.
For the bracelet I used eight feet of black paracord and about eight inches of white paracord. For the buckle I used a 5/8" contoured side release buckle that was purchased from Creative Designworks.

Fusion Knots

The Fusion Knot tying technique was created by JD of TyingItAllTogether and the designs shown in this post are all his designs. I saw most of, if not all of these designs on the TyingItAllTogether Facebook page. At the time I tied these, he hadn't yet presented tutorials on the designs and I enjoyed the challenge of trying to tie them myself.
In this article, I will show four designs that I really like and I hope you will as well.

How to Build the Compact Paracord Jig

A jig is useful for tying many types of paracord bracelets and other designs. I first discovered a jig in use from a video by Dave Canterbury. The video showed Dave’s wife Iris tying a Solomon Bar bracelet at great speed. It really got my creative juices flowing; I thought that if the jig would measure and accept many different buckle sizes and alternatives then it would make my life much easier.
The Compact Paracord Jig is the third revision of the original design. It started with the large version, and then came the better design. The second design was a great design but when using it; I found that it was just a bit too long. That is why I created a third version of the jig that should be long enough to tie any length of bracelet you need while still being easy to use and store.

This article should answer many questions about building one of these jigs and I will explain how to create the sliding slots.

Unique Emergency Solomon Bar

If you have searched the internet for a "survival paracord bracelet" then chances are that most of the results were for a Solomon Bar bracelet, and that's fine but I wouldn't want the task of unraveling a Solomon Bar bracelet while in a survival situation. I would want a bracelet that can go from bracelet form to one long strand of paracord in less than a minute.
With this tying technique you will end up with a bracelet that is very similar to a Solomon Bar but it can be unraveled in seconds.

Unique Monkey Fist Tying Tool

The Monkey Fist Knot was originally tied at the end of a rope to serve as a weight, making it easier to throw. Nowadays it serves for more of a decorative knot but can be used in many different ways such as a weapon.
With this post I decided to show how I tie a Monkey Fist Knot using a tool that anyone can make.

Unique Paracord Bracelet/Necklace Tying Jig-Revisited

I decided to redesign the bracelet tying jig because no matter what I tried, after I painted it, when I would try to reposition the slide, it was always stuck and I would have to pry it up with a screwdriver to move it.

The main difference in this design is the ruler and ruler guide, I was going to put a ruler on last time but the design wouldn't allow it.

My First Instructable

I just completed my first instructable (tutorial for those who aren't familiar with the website). The tutorial I decided to use as my first instructable was to show how to tie the Unique Germ Grenade which I posted previously.
So if you're interested in viewing the tutorial, this is the link.

I posted the tutorial to enter a contest that they are currently having for tying paracord. If you have a tutorial for tying paracord then you should enter it, who knows, you might win.

UPDATE: My Instructable has been chosen as a Finalist in the Paracord Contest!
