Attach a Compass to a Paracord Bracelet
Paracord is for emergencies, right? Survival and such. Well, out in the wilderness, you'd also want a compass with you, in case you need to know where you're going. Why not have both at once?
Make a Paracord Bracelet
There are many different patterns for creating a Paracord Bracelet, and it all depends on your preference. For some great examples, check out StormDrane's instructables.
Preparing the Mini Compass
Smaller compasses are better for putting on the buckle of a paracord bracelet. It makes it less bulky, and more convenient. I got my compass from a little carabiner that had one attached. If it's a little plastic one like this, you can just pop it out the metal case with a screw-driver.
Attaching the Compass
Just get any good super-glue, dab a bit on the buckle and place the compass in the center. If you really want to go hard-core, you can take a soldering iron and meld the compass to the buckle. It's a bit more permanent.
