‍️7 Mistakes I Made As A Beginner Paracordist | DON'T DO THESE!

for the bracelet sizing i recommend trying the bracelet before actually melting or finishing the working ends if the size wont fit i usually just unravel everything then re-measure

What's the name of the last knot on the tip #1 section?

Burnin' a bone before you start...Big mistake.

You could make one with 2 female prices and make a dog collar or something

Hi - Great video for beginners (like me). Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg

I'm a beginner but I already have a spot a farmers market trying to sell for 10$ I sold 1 wish me luck next time are people just cheap or is 10$ too much?

The two female ends will find a way.

I don't focus on bracelets but I do practice with them. I like necklaces, keychains. I'm teaching myself crochet and trying macrame withParacord to make things that blow people away in their use ability. Like a handled can holder, that can hold your phone, or a can or bottle, or whatever else you can put in it. I want to eventually make very large things. I have a totally different view on this

What torch and punch are you using? And that board?

Great info. I've made a few of these. Also putting the dominant color on wrong side of 2-color bracelet. Easy to catch after made 3-4 loops.

Nylon Paracord is better, rigth? Polyester is cheaper but i dont if is any better

I did mistake with the size of the bracelet i made it exactly my size and when i fineshed I realized that i should make it lettile bigger

Making good looking burning ends one of things i struggle as a beginner. It goes bad looking black when i cut longer and ends like disappearing if try to make them shorter. When you scare of making bad and waste all of work its goes worse. Think its one of things you can solve only with experience.

In order to avoid the loop size problem, I begin weaving on that end of the project and adjust early. I also prefer a slightly larger loop and use a brass plumbing collet as a sliding keeper bead. They patina quite nicely after a while.

What is the blue & white bracelet called pleaseeeeeee

I once after finishing a bracelet found I'd got one end upside down to the other.

sex

Manny method all day long. Not so aesthetic but always holding good

What size of buckles do you use?

holding the cord to close as you melt ends or using finger to round cord while it is still hot without wetting fingers

Helpful, thanks.

Hi Weaver! That problem with the sizing for the loops, you solved that in another video: you made the loop just a little long, and then you put a cinching ranger bead on there to allow Easy donning and removal of the bracelet, as well as securing it. I really liked that idea. It made for a really nice looking bracelet.

5 made me so frustrated as a beginner! I didn’t know why they didn’t stay together.

We all have done at lists 2 of them 😔🤣🤣😂

Just a tip on when I have lots off small off cuts...I am an archer so with the bits left over (from no. 1 using a bit more than needed to make sure you don't run out). I make Finger Slings for bows, and if you pull out the cores you can use the outer string as String Silencers on a bow.

Your videos are great teaching tools. I’m close to binge watching them! I am subscribed and will look forward to your future posts. Thanks so much.

Hola cómo se llama la tabla que utilizas para trabajar? Podrías mostrarla? Está a la venta? Saludos desde Argentina :)

OMG!!! 😱 My burns looked worse than yours did, my bracelets r 2 small And sometimes even after following ur videos EXACTLY idk they just don't look as awesome. Mind u I've only made 3 bracelets and a two color monkey ball fist , so thanks 4 the tips brother. Hopefully my next project will be better 🧵!

I singed my first monkey fist ):

Just watching some of your paracord videos. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for making this video.
I find help such as you give here to be of great value.
Thanks

Nice

Ow a couple of them.... Just tonight, had some paracord from a (very) different quality. Thought to use the same amount as before plus some extra for easy use. But ended up having to little...

I actually laughed out loud at the two female buckles 😊

I have done the two buckle mistake twice. Almost made me quit.

Love the vids , but how do you make The same end mistake for buckles or snaps ….

As a true beginner I did the 'too short bracelet' error just couple of days ago with a bracelet which had buckles. I solved by cutting out the buckles and make it adjustable. It's a bit of a Frenkestein now but I had to learn how to join 2 pieces of paracord in order to transform it, which is great because it's good to build up some new knowledge over an error and at the end you feel that you didn't really lose your time because of the error

Im beginning to think this whole channel is a dl bdsm-bondage how to library..

super

Okay question. How do you protect your fingers from blisters? Do you suffer through it or do you wear bandaids while making them

What is that tool he’s holding

I’ve been weaving paracord for about a week now, have done four projects, and... have basically made most of these mistakes. XD The cobra weave, now I know how to do it right, the running out of paracord — grr! XD I never accidentally used two sides of the same buckle, but that sounds incredibly frustrating!!! Ooof.

It’s very encouraging and heartening to hear, though. I commiserate! And now I know! The one thing that I was stuck on the most was how long to cut off the excess at the end — mine kept being too long or coming undone, or too short it slipped back and came undone, so eventually I just gave up and melted together a bunch on the underside with my tuck-ins. LOL. (If it keeps sticking out and therefore coming apart, JUST MELT IT ALL TOGETHER is what I’d come to, MAKE IT ALL BLACK and then covering it with something decorative). It worked, lmao. But it’s funny to see how we all make similar mistakes on our own and somehow we figure out our own ways to make it work. XD And get better!

The clip part hit hard 😂
