Paracord plate carrier and Mag Pouch

Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum. I've been paracording for a few months now on and off. I recently thought of the idea of having a paracord plate carrier for my Ar-15. I am halfway through with an open top magazine pouch(only weaving left ugh).

So here's my idea:
-start with a plate
-some type of weave or braid to get a complete wrap of the plate(help me out here)preferably vertically not horizontally
-form the straps to the shoulders and make another plate for the back
-side straps that are somehow adjustable and completely non slip
-molle webbing that would weave into the already "harness" on the plate(thinking of a cobra braid for this since it's right at 1"
-attach all pouches and custom pouches

All comments are appreciated, I'm sorry if you don't know what a plate carrier is but I attached a photo for some sort of reference( of course it won't look anything like this, it will have openings from the braid or weave

I'm really contemplating just a cobra around the whole plate and then weaving vertically and horizontally on the plates until I finish and the using a cobra for all the mini molle braids, and thanks for the advice on shoulder straps I like that idea, any idea for adjusting size? Most plate carriers have a Velcro system and the two sides come together to bind together in the middle and it allows for retention

Ok thanks, and then possibly a real shoulder pad on top for comfort?

Possibly, but then again it's just a frame and it will most likely only be maybe 100-200 feet

Ok that's fine, this is just a future project though, I probably won't get to it before the summer because of high school...
