Paracord!

Paracord is a lightweight, nylon rope with inner strands that can be unraveled for even more uses. It's often thought of as a survival item, and is often woven into thicker bracelets, handles, and more until it's needed for rope. You can always keep your creation in tact, if you prefer it that way or if you never need to use it as rope!

Take a look at the tutorials below to see the array of items you can make with paracord.

 

To cut the right amount for basic projects, multiply the number of inches for the finished project by 12.
