How to Tie the Two Strand Matthew Walker Knot This is a very simple knot that my friend Brian showed me. It's fun to tie and has a wonderful elegant look to it. I used two colors of cord here to make it easy to see the steps. Here's the last two pics showing the tightening process: You start with your cords side by side, make two loops and pass the ends through the loops. Adding Paracord to Water Bottles and another Paracord Can Koozie... Here are a couple of examples of adding paracord to water bottles. A 25 foot length was used for the one in a 'whipping' pattern on the aluminum water bottle. And a 40 foot length was used in a woven pattern on the white stainless steel water bottle. Both started off with coiling the cord around the bottles, with the starting end just held in place with a rubber band and later tucked to finish. The 'whipping'(snaking) version, an example is seen in Geoffrey Budworth's 'The Complete Book of Knots', is easily zigzagged and looped around a couple of coils on each end of the paracord coiled wraps, and tucked to finish. The woven version resembles 'grafting' type knot work, as seen in Stuart Grainger's 'Creative Ropecraft', but is instead a single length of cord. I used a Perma-Lok Jumbo Lacing Needle to feed the paracord over/under as I worked, as well as a pair of hemostats/forceps. Here's a woven paracord can koozie, done with a 25 foot length of cord.

Dreamcatcher fob I first used a short section of gutted green paracord to work over a keyring. Then I used white 0.9mm braided nylon cord to make the dreamcatcher knot work over the keyring . And finally taking a length of 550 cord through the Spyderco knife's lanyard hole, looping the ends around the dreamcatcher fob and doing a section of snake knots to finish. Added a few more photos. There are plenty of online instructions for dreamcatcher tying methods if you google them. You can vary the look by how many hitches you initially make around the ring and how tight/loose you you do them as you go and what cord you use. I do the dreamcatcher before adding the paracord for the lanyard/fob, so the photo showing the cord looped around the ring is just how/where on the keyring it goes and it'll cover the starting knot of the hitching.
Paracord Projects | Paracord Projects Instructions, Videos, Reviews, Paracord Lanyard and Supplies DIY Proenza Schouler Rope Necklace Lauren and I have been waiting for an excuse to use colorful bungee cords for some time now. And after seeing this Proenza Schouler necklace from their Resort 2011 collection, we jumped at the opportunity to recreate our own version of this amazing piece of jewelry! Start by cutting a 10″ and a 15″ piece of bungee (or climbing rope). Burn the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying. Lay the center of the twisted cord in between the two pieces of covered bungee, twist twice at the top of the necklace and bring both sides down to create a small loop. Wrap each glued section with mason line or twine and trim any excess twisted cord. Your Proenza Schouler inspired necklace is ready to wear! (top image from here, rest of images from Honestly…WTF)
