Woven paracord bracelet/watchband :Step 1

-
This tutorial will show how to make a Paracord bracelet or watch band using a weaving method.

Step 1: Supplies

For this project, you'll need approximately 10 feet of paracord, scissors, lighter, tape measure, hemostats, watch, and a 5/8" side release buckle.
Paracord can be found at local Army/Navy stores or from various online sources: Amazon, Shopclues, ebay, etc...
The actual amount of paracord that will be used depends on your wrist size, cord, and tying technique(tight/loose). A typical wrist is about 8.5 inches and I actually used around 8 or 9 feet after finishing the bracelet/watchband. So using 10 feet is usually a safe estimate for most folks, since having too much cord is better than coming up short when making your project.
*If making a watchband, the watch needs to have about 5/8" space between the lugs(where the watch pins go) so that 5 strands of paracord will fit.

Using an image editing program or even MS Word, create a black background and arrange them to appear side by side. Having the black background helps a lot when transferring images to rubber sheet. *Note*  There is no need to mirror/reverse anything as they wil...
