DIY paracord bracelet supplies
You wont need much to make a beautiful paracord bracelet! A simple lighter, a piece of paracord 550 (it is the type of paracord most commonly used) is all you really need.
You may want to look into using a button, a buckle or a shackle to make sure your paracord bracelet is as functional and good looking as possible. Decorating it with charms and beads may also improve the looks of your paracord bracelet.
You can find paracord at the following places:
- Amazon, an online store with a great selection of available paracord types, colors and prices
- climbing, camping and army stores
- army bases
The last made at home supply i would recommend is a tool to help you make bracelets faster. Usually it is made with a plank and two nails in between which the bracelet is immobilized. It is easy to make and works just fine. Making tools for knotting is a great idea to save time and come up with a better and better looking design.
