Thos is a blog dedicated to my adventures in the art of using paracord for practical and decorative aplications, as the title suggests the aubject matter is simple and theres not alot of complicated knots in what i do, and 90% of this is stuff almost anyone can do, in the future i may add instructions on how i made some of my creations, if requested

Quick jewelry doodads
These are a few things i made while in the van on the way back from Wright Patterson AFB, for my friend and fellow cadet Alison. She said she wanted a necklace and i had two pieces of gutted paracord in my hands, blue and black, and im addicted to diamond knots so i tied one, trimmed one side's ends, and burned then and took the other sides spare cord and tied two overhand knots on the opposite string to make it adjustable. I put it on her and she said she wanted a bracelet, and being a gentleman i couldnt say no, even though i did at first. I thought the fish tail weave was suitable for her so i started with a cow hitch on one buckle and ran the inner cord to the other buckle, and tied a simple knot and began the weave. I finished the weave and put it on her, it was too big so i just cut one end of the buckle, unraveled some cord, and weaved it a little bit to re attatch it to the buckle, and i sealed it again. Not my best work, but it was quick and she liked it. I might invest more into jewelry making including ideas other than bracelets
