Extra strands

paracordist · Jul 22, 2013

Hello guys.I have About 1 million extra strands of para cord each one no longer than 5 to 20 inches long,I was wondering does anyone have any ideas on what to do with them.I have already made a ton of key chains.

Ha ha! I am really interested in seeing ideas here too. I have thrown away COUNTLESS amounts of small strands. I would like to see what uses people have found for this as well.

Great post!

You know what would be cool? Rings. Like, a cool wrap around with some neat knot at the top. I am going to try this.

Zipper pulls for bug out bags, backpacks, jackets, or whatever has a zipper! Diamond knot at the end, or a small cobra end. The extra pieces are great for this.

What about you tools bags, BOB, EDC bag, keys, knife, flashlight, etc?

Yeah man, everything has cord on it somehow. Reminds me, I need to put a BOB together.

I will gut the cord and slide some thick aluminum wire in. Use wire thick enough so that it will hold a shape. Seal the ends (melt together). Super cheap gear ties. Nice and flexible, yet holds. I use the short ones for phone cords/headphones etc. The longer 6"+ I'll use for Paracord hanks or temporary hooks.

You can always do a fishtail multicolored bracelet, they're pretty easy.

I like to loop them around keyring and make little dream catchers or loop it only half way and make a necklace out of it! For example this is one I made yesterday! The ladies really like them as well!
