Take the blue rope over the body. Take the camo rope over the blue rope, under the body, and through the loop the blue rope made. Continue this process until you have about 3 inches left on the body.

Looping the Lanyard

Take the rest of the body through the loops on the end.

Securing the Loops

Make 1 knot in between the loops and then finish the rest of the body.

Finishing It

Leave half of an inch at the very end. Cut the rest of the rope of and melt the ends so it doesn't come undone.

Add Carabiner
