Para Cord Lanyard
« on: January 11, 2012, 09:38:42 PM »
I had some left over para cord from hunting laying around and some extra time, so I thought I would try to make a call lanyard. I think it turned out okay for my first one.

Looks good. I did the same thing.  Used the green para cord.  I think it took about 2 hours to complete mine.  Did it while watching some football.

That is way cooler than the one they sell for 35 bucks at most outdoor stores...I just went digging through my Surplus Gear bags looking for 550 cord...Looks like I have to wait for drill to make one...How many feet (approx) did you use? Ive made several of the bracelets with the standard bracelet weave and I made a key chain braided like the thicker part of your Lanyard...Never occurred to me to make a lanyard. My buddy made a sling with 550 It took him a long time and well over 100' of 550 cord

I think it was about 45-50 feet.

I made one out of one continuous cord and it only used about 70 feet and it's still a bit too long. If it weren't for having to route the excess back through the weave and getting tangled it wouldn't have taken me 3 hours. Pencil trick helps a lot for the weave.

I really like how you did that weave. I use the outside one for my bracelets but it was a cool idea to use it the way you did instead  :tup:
