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.

When most folks think of a Globe Knot, they think of a round Turk's Head, but you can also use it to create a square Turk's Head. At first look this design may look as though it will be complicated to tie, but don't let that persuade you not to attempt it. If you place the pins on the mandrel correctly, you will have no trouble tying this Globe Knot. In this article I have chosen to include

Recently I have taken an interest in tying Globe Knot Cubes and it has become quite obsessive. When I first started tying knots, I thought Globe Knots were out of reach, but if you follow the tutorials correctly, you shouldn't have too much trouble tying. A new Facebook friend Michel Since created a tutorial on tying a 96 Facets-2 Pass Globe Knot Cube based on a tutorial by Claude

A simple and easy to tie adjustable paracord necklace. The necklace pendant is called a Santi Skull Fob from Lighthound. To make the necklace adjustable, I used the Double Fisherman's Knot. This knot can also be used to tie adjustable bracelets. I have found that tying simple designs sometimes creates a better end result than trying to tie elaborate designs. This necklace can

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

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. Front Side To create this design, I tied two-Three Strand Triangle Crown Sinnet's. I used one half of the silver paracord on each

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

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.   Matthias was kind enough to create a photo tutorial of the tying process that shows how to start this design for a bracelet. I chose to start my fobs differently, but if you're familiar with tying a Solomon Bar key

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.

This is an original design by JD of TyingItAllTogether, found in the photos of some of his new work on his Twitter channel. This is a really great looking design, though it may not sparkle as well as it should in this monochrome format, but I kind of dig single-plain colors for fobs that I intend to carry on my key chain. Although JD keeps churning out new and innovative tutorials, to my

This design was created by JD of TyingItAllTogether, I am only showing how to tie it and attach it to a buckle. I am frequently asked how I attach buckles to bracelets, since it's hard to explain, I thought I would show it in this tutorial. The method used to attach this bracelet to a buckle will work on many different types of knot designs. This tutorial is broken down into three parts,

In a previous post, I presented the Braided Turk's Head Lanyard. It was originally designed by Trident and creates a stylish lanyard, I added the lanyard to a Turk's Head-handled flashlight. This design shows the versatility of the Long Two Bight Turk's Head and has been a favorite of mine for a while. To create the lanyard for the flashlight, I used two four feet long strands of

For this post, I decided to show some of the newest "quick deploy" solutions for creating emergency paracord bracelets. You may have noticed one of the designs in the image from before, I previously featured it for an emergency bracelet and I thought it would fit perfectly with the other two bracelet designs. Both of these bracelets are created in a similar way. The foliage green

This tutorial shows how to create a better Paracord Needle than the Perma Lok Lacing Needle (in my opinion). After trying many different techniques from collaborations between my readers and me, I decided that I would take the simplest route possible. You can make this type of Lacing Needle with little more than a screw driver, drill and something to cut the needle material (i.e. hacksaw or

My most recent purchase from Supply Captain included this Urban Camo paracord and the Emerson Skull attached to the loop of the Crown Sinnet. For the other fob I chose to use the classic style of the Solomon Bar which will never go out of style. Round Crown Sinnet Fob To make this fob, you will need to know four knots: Matthew Walker Knot, Round Crown Sinnet, and the

This tactical-looking pouch can be tied easily using one knot design. If you look closely at the pouch you will notice that it is simply a Wide Solomon Bar that is lashed together on the sides. The amount of paracord you will need depends on the size of the pouch, I used four-seven feet long strands for the Wide Solomon Bar section and two-four feet long strands for the sides. You will also

Recently while trolling the internet, I came across this design tied by a fellow Blogger. He was tying the design mainly for use as a leash, but this is a tough, rugged looking design that can be used in many different ways. Before tying this lanyard, I thought about using this design as a strap to replace the "Oh Crap" handles in my Jeep. UPDATED TUTORIAL Tying this design will take

I recently purchased some exciting new colors of paracord from Supply Captain and I thought I would use one of those colors to tie one of my favorite bracelet designs by TyingItAllTogether. The color I chose to use is called Urban Camo and I used approximately 6-7 feet for the main color, you will also need a core strand, I used approximately 2 feet of black. Click the Image to&

Last week I decided I would go on a little hiking and fishing trip and I would need to take along the right type of paracord bracelet. Although the Stitched Solomon Bar by JD at TyingItAllTogether isn't what I would call a "survival" design, it is becoming one of my all-time favorite bracelet designs, so I decided it would be the design I wanted to tie. A few months back I purchased a

This is a variation of a design by Hotmetalmel from the Fusion Knots Forum it uses fused Cross Knots separated by the Endless Falls Knot by TyingItAllTogether. I added a loop for a keychain and attached it with a couple of Blood Knots. The Cross Knot looks good from the front and backside, but on this design, I prefer the look of the backside of the knot coupled with the backside of the
