Paracord Ends Project

Here are a couple of projects to use up cord ends. They make great zipper pulls. The top knot in each photo shows the knot I used in the tutorials. The red and tan knots used 1 foot of left over cord and the middle white knots 1 1/2 feet each although one foot would have been possible with this heavier cord. The left hand knots each took a liottle over 2 feet of the ever thicker cord

Both finished knots use the same starting knot. Middle a cord to make a bight and bring down both ends along side the bight

Do the same with the other end and tighten the knot. This has the appearance of the diamond/lanyard knot but is a bit bulkier
