12" for every inch of cobra knot. This is exactly the information I came here to find. It worked like a charm!!! I am not making a bracelet, I made a duck call lanyard!!! Great video.

Thank you! Very informative. I've started making bracelets again and have been having a time getting the lengths right. There has been some great tutorials I've followed, and have had amazing turnouts with the weaving. When i go to try on my finished work disappointment sets in.
Not giving up and never giving in!

If you're accurate enough and you have less than a foot left over I always make paracord peeps, I buy the little split rings the little tiny wooden beads 6 in for the body 6 in for the leg perfect use of extra cord

Hello.
Personally, when I create my bracelets, (in Cobra model), I measure the wrist loosely, then I add 3 cms that I multiply by 12 if I only need one thread. Or by 6 if my bracelet is two-tone.
Ex: my wrist is 19 centimeters so.
19 + 3 (12) = 264 cms
But only for cobras or King cobras because it adds thickness.
This way you don't have any thread loss or too short a thread estimate.

Been ending up with so much wasted material. Thank you for your video.

Hello. Your video is very helpful. But I have one question. When you measure the paracord according to your wrist do you put the buckle in that measurement or separated? I mean if I need a bracelet 21cm in those cm I must include the buckle? Total measurement or if I have a buckle of 6cm my paracord should be 21-6=15cm?

Ok. I’m not doing inches. I’m making or want to make a 7 foot horse reins out of paracord out of the cobra knot. How many feet of paracord do o need for 7 foot? Would I double or triple the rope?

[alkebulankush]

Question; I have often, a bounce back effect from the cord, due to the strands from the inner core, how do you remedy to that..?
I removed the inner and it seemed fine for a small size cord, but can i make a bracelet void of its core and it still look good..?
Thanks

how much do you allow for shrinkage when it gets wet and redries?

[vinaysharma]

Q. What is the size of paracord in mm?
Q. What you call that lock which you use to tie the bracelet?

Last century, when I was a Boy Scout (in the good old days when we actually learned “stuff”), we learned that, if you started a project like this, figure out the amount of materials we needed and add 10% (yes, we could do percentages - without a computer, iPhone or calculator - by the time we reached the minimum age to be a Boy Scout; even a Cub Scout could do it).

so im doing a long strap for a lunch box with three different strands of cord. i’m doing a double wide cobra the strap needs to be 48” long. how long do all my straps need to be? 48’?
