At first glance at these cubes, you may think that it would be difficult to tie, but once you see how they are tied, you will see that it is relatively simple.
Wikipedia says this about a Menger Sponge: "In mathematics, the Menger sponge is a fractal curve... The Menger sponge simultaneously exhibits an infinite surface area and encloses zero volume."





I've noticed a few of these types of charms on the internet, but I couldn't find any that used my favorite team, so I decided to make my own.
I purchased blank Shoelace Charms on Etsy and once I received them, got started using Photoshop to create the correct size logo. Once I created the logo, I printed it on glossy photo paper. Then I stuck the adhesive clear covers over the logo and cut out around the cover. I attached the covered logo to the charm by using Krazy "Craft" glue.




While getting ready for kickoff, I decided I would tinker with a type of design that I have never tied. Though the design is simple, it does take patience to get the letter to look correct.
This fob was modeled after JD of TyingItAllTogether Alpha Fob.










This is probably the most popular paracord knot on the internet. it's fun to tie and easy to learn.
This is a beginner's guide to creating a Solomon Bar fob.

I've been meaning to celebrate Alabama's 14th National Championship with a new post, but time hasn't allowed it. With the 2012 season less than two weeks away, there was no better time than today.
This is my first attempt at using 450 Type II Paracord. I have been meaning to get some 450 to test the differences with 550, and since Vermont's Barre had a different color of red that I hadn't been able to get in 550, I decided to give it a try. Once it arrived, I was pleased to see that Imperial Red matched almost exactly to Alabama's Crimson color.


A new Facebook friend, Matthias Agnello created this fantastic paracord design that has a mean-tough-rugged style.
This design is easy to learn and fun to tie.






Since I've been promising that I was going to get back on the horse and starting posting more frequently, I decided to use my day off for the 4th of July to tie this design. For those who may not be from the United States, the Fourth of July is a celebration of our Independence from Great Britain from which we celebrate by grilling steaks, making homemade ice cream and blasting fireworks. I finished off the steaks and ice cream and decided to leave the fireworks to someone else because I had a key chain on my mind that needed to get tied.



I am truly pleased with the support from my readers, I asked you to click on the advertising links and try to reach five dollars in revenue in one day and you really came through, at last count it was over seven dollars, Thank You.
Since you did your part, I've been working for the past several hours to put together the tutorial that I promised.
