Easy Paracord Zipper Pull - 'Tip Of The Week' E26

How to make a paracord zipper pull. This easy to make paracord project is ideal for not only giving you quicker access to your pack, apparel, and other gear, but adds a bit of customization as well. This method can also be used for making a single-strand keychain fob. The tying technique used here is the basic Cobra Weave. All that is needed for this simple DIY project is 2 1/2' of 550 paracord and a few minutes of your time. Enjoy!

Great TOTW John! What's really funny is that without words, you've actually made it so I can understand a cobra weave, where dozens of videos with guys trying to explain it did nothing. Thanks for posting!

I've done some bracelets of other design and they were time consuming but easy. I've heard of the Cobra and everyone seemed to make it so hard, now that you showed it, it seems so simple and I'll make a few. Thanks John

[SoulSurvivorX]

Paracord is some good stuff and there are so many creative ways to NOT be without it. Great video...thanks for sharing :)

[thomasco]

What a great technique you have for teaching. The pictures are worth more than a thousand words. You've gained a new follower.

Can't wait to try this! Couldn't figure out why I didn't notice that you had another video out and then realized cuz I was actually out hiking! Keep 'em coming John!

[jamiemaxwell]

I really enjoyed this quick and easy DIY. Love your projects - well presented and easy to follow along.

Wanted to say thank you for all your videos, they are very good and very instrucional . You make these projects easy to learn !

[leebradbury]

A simple idea clearly explained that even a ham-fisted ape like me can do it! Hope my family are prepared for the plethora of Paracord Zipper Pulls that are about to descend on them!!

[electrophile]

You made this so easy! It turned out awesome and I am a super noob in knot tying! Thank you! Please make more videos like this!!

[werdnarellom]

Thank you that was the easiest tutorial for a cobra knot on the net

[outbackwack]

I think your videos are some of the best out there for information & demonstration. Keep up the great work and thanks!!!

John, way to go, my friend. This is an excellent Tip of the Week!

[steintanz]

Nice little tip John - thanks once again.
Have a good time, Tim

[IntenseAngler]

Thanks for the comment and the kind words my friend. Really glad to hear that you enjoyed the video, as well as found it useful.

[ricardonelson]

Most useful information needed by mostly everyone. Great job.
The video was informative and well presented.

[AlpinistoOutdoors]

Grat video John! Fun little project to do to get some personalization to some of my gear and something nice I can make for friends as well. As usual, another great "tip of the week." Look forward to seeing your videos pop up on my home page. Will be trying this one soon! Psyched for another video!

I watched a few other videos that just confused me, this one was perfect. My softball bag zipper broke and I knew paracord would be able to fix it. Thanks!

[badbassfishing]

I have used these pulls many times thanks to you. When I need to make a new set of pulls I rewatch the video; I guess my memory is not that great. Thanks Bud.

I had some Nite Ize Reflective cord sitting around, not being used.  It worked great for this project!  A bit more compact, and best of all, reflective.  I replaced most of my pulls in my backpacking kit - can't wait to try them out.  Thanks for all the inspiration, John!

[IntenseAngler]

Thanks Tim... glad you enjoyed this one buddy.
All the best!
