Shark Tooth Paracord Bracelet With Buckle Instructions

Introduction

A paracord bracelet is an essential accessory for outdoor enthusiasts, emergency situations, and survivalists. It is made of lightweight, durable, and versatile paracord that can be used in many ways. A shark tooth paracord bracelet is a popular design that adds style and function to your wrist. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to make a shark tooth paracord bracelet with a buckle.

Materials Needed

Before we start, here are the materials needed:

Paracord (7-9 feet, depending on wrist size)
Buckle (side-release buckle or shackle)
Scissors
Lighter
Shark tooth beads (optional)

Step 1: Measuring your Wrist

The first step is to measure your wrist and add an inch to the length. This extra inch will ensure that the bracelet is not too tight on your wrist. Use a tape measure or a piece of string to measure your wrist, and then add an inch to the length.

Step 2: Preparing the Paracord

Cut the paracord to the length you measured in step 1. Burn the ends of the paracord with a lighter to prevent fraying. Fold the paracord in half, and then slide the loop end through the buckle.

Step 3: Making the First Knot

Take the loose ends of the paracord and pass them through the loop created by the folded end. Pull the loose ends tight, forming a knot at the base of the buckle.

Step 4: Creating the Shark Tooth Pattern

Slide one shark tooth bead onto the two strands of paracord. Make a loop with the left strand over the right strand, and then pass the right strand over the left strand and through the loop. Pull the strands tight, making sure the shark tooth bead is snug against the knot. Shark Tooth Beads

Step 5: Creating the next Knot

Take the right strand and pass it over the left strand. Then, make a loop with the right strand under the left strand and pass it over the top of the left strand and through the loop. Pull the strands tight, forming a knot.

Step 6: Repeat the Pattern

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have reached the desired length of your bracelet. Add more shark tooth beads if you like.

Step 7: Finishing the Bracelet

When you have reached the end of the bracelet, make one final knot like in step 3. Trim the loose ends of the paracord, leaving about 1/2 inch. Burn the ends with a lighter, and then press them down with a pair of pliers to flatten them.
