Every Day Carry Lanyard

I wanted to make a lanyard to keep my "Every Day Carry" stuff handy.


Here you see the finished project...

You can see more of my projects at Knotty Pirate.

I started with a Lanyard Knot on a loop.


The Lanyard Knot is a very simple knot to tie and adds a little bit of decorative flair to the lanyard.

Then begin to tie the Snake Knot.


You will continue to tie the Snake Knot until you reach the desired length.


TIP: I always use forceps when tying the Snake Knot. It just makes things a bit easier.

Now give yourself a couple of inches to make a loop. This loop will be used to attach to the carabiner.


Now tie another Lanyard Knot.


Carefully cut off the remaining ends and melt to prevent from fraying.

Attach the lanyard to the caribiner by feeding the bottom loop through the loop you just made. Then pull tight.

Lastly I add my "Every Day Carry" stuff...


Enjoy...
