Strolling Men: Mad Max Paracord Bracelet.

I loved the film Mad Max: Fury Road, partially because it was a brilliant film, partially because I love Tom Hardy.

I noticed the bracelet he wears throughout the film and wanted to make one. After looking at several videos I figured out a way to make them.

Apologies for the less than average photos I don't really know what was going on today.

You Will Need:

About 4 arm lengths of paracord(roughly, hold one end, measure to shoulder and repeat).

I used my swiss army knife to cut the ends but you will also need some kind of small stick. The thick end of the tooth pick works really well with that.

A means to melt the end, I used my stove.

Firstly, get your paracord and find the middle point. Bend that in half and from the bend measure it around your wrist. Pinch the length you want it to be the reduce it by about an inch.

From that point, bend each end of the cord to each side like shown.

Then move the left side over and pull the right cord so it is on top.

Put the right cord behind and back up through the left loop.

Then pull it not completely tight as you need to go through this one later on. Every knot after these are to be tight however.

It is VERY important to remember that the same cord always make the loop first. It is the cord that always crosses over the top.

I'll put an uninterrupted sequence here and just repeat it till you get close to the bottom remembering to keep the lead cord as the first loop, always over the top.

Pull tight each time.

Continue the tying until you get down to a point where it is very difficult to keep going but you have enough room to easily still do at least one more knot.

This point is when you will need your little stick or pokey thing to get the cord through the hole at the very bottom.

Now I must admit I am faintly confused by these photos, I was getting angry with my camera and probably should have made these clearer.

You need to put the main cord(that main loopy one) through first then push the opposite one through(It's very possible you bracelet at this point might be the other way round just reverse the instructions). You need to make sure the main loop is on top of the other one and pull each of the cords tight THROUGH the opposing ones loop once you've done that you will have tied the stopper knot.

If you don't tie a stopper knot you can easily pull every single knot off the bracelet taking it back to a massive stretch of paracord.

Once you've loosened the first two loops at the top of the bracelet use your stick like thing to push each cord through to the correct loop.

From here, you need to put the bracelet on and note where you want to knot to be on the ropes so you can still get it on and off(do it a little tighter than you think as the rope it slightly stretchy and the knots on the bracelet will adjust).

This stopper knot is similar to the knots on the bracelet. Start it like you did on the first knot and place one cord over the top and another under the bottom.

The cord on the top is then going to go round the back and go through itself, and the cord on the bottom is going to go over the top to go through itself.

It sounds more confusing than it is.
