Post your home-made lanyard photos! (Part 2)

[Essexman]

I've been doing a bit more man knitting

A few zip pulls

A very nice chap on another forum asked me to make a neck lanyard and matching knife lanyard.
The neck lanyard has adjustable length via the two slidding knotts.

That little project got me thinking, and I make some neck lanyards for work badges.

I'm running out of paracord now, more on order.................

Cheers gollum, but credit must go to Mr Stormdrane. Even since I found his blog I've been inspired to go and make more.

Thanks Stormdrane :bow:

[If anyone hasn't already done so, click on the link at the bottom of Stormdranes posts, the best paracord work ever.]

Saw this on Stormdrane's blog and had a go, turned out OK for my first attempt.
My sister is unwell, so I'm sending her this to cheer her up.

A paracord sheath/pouch... still somewhat a 'work in progress' with ideas to play with on it...

 

[Stormdrane]

I made and uploaded a video tutorial for making a 'Two-Bight Turk's-Head Paracord Lanyard'.

Finished version:

I made a monkeys fist over a 7/8 ball bearing,

I was getting bored with the std cobra paracord bracelet.
So I tried a bracelet I read about on Stormdranes blog and made one for myself. I really like this style, I'm going to make some more....

 

[Essexman]

More monkeys fists......

Not as much a lanyard as it is a storage for a spool, cannot remember if it is 100 or 200 feet of decoy cord on a knife I put together for a friend. Certainly not

Certainly not in the league as some of the kewl lanyards shown.

Glow in the dark lanyards

Yet more monkeys fists, but new colours

 

[Essexman]

I made a new watch strap yesterday, came out better than I expected..

Many thanks to Stormdrane, your intructions are perfect!

Now my wife wants me to make her one too.

 

[Stormdrane]

It looks great! :thumbsup:

 

[Essexman]

Opps, double post, first one ever!

 

[Essexman]

Cheers Stormdrane, I'm wearing it everyday, feels great and gets a lot of looks.

My wife came home the other week and asked me to make a keyring for her friend. The spec was that it should be a monkeys fist and float with a key on it! Oh, and be a girl colour.

Next my wife comes up with the ping pong balls and away we go. After some testing we found that one key was OK and two keys was possible but the whole lot sunk with the extra mass.

One key

Two keys

Now it needs to dry before we pass it on to her friend.

I'm guessing cork would float better, so I might try and find some for the next time.
Any other ideas would be welcome?

 

[Stormdrane]

I've tried the ping pong balls before, & ended up using them as Christmas tree ornaments.

I've found bottle corks at the local True Value hardware store, and a Turk's Head knot goes well over those. You might also try tying over one of those floating key fobs, found in the boating/fishing section at wallyworld.

I made a paracord pouch for my River Rock 3AA LED lantern and it also works as a can koozie. A 2 foot piece of paracord used for the cinch section with cord lock, and I didn't measure the cord, so I'd have to guess something like 30 to 40 feet of paracord used for the single strand for the cow hitching, and finished the bottom with half hitching. The hitching allows some stretch/elongation of the pouch to fit both the lantern and a soda/beer can.
