Hey there.

We do have a dedicated art forum this may be better appreciated in though

They look awesome to me, like those Scoubidou things that were a playground craze, but they look much nicer and lay flatter with the cord you've used. Sturdy, unisex... I like them and think they will sell. Have a look around sites like Etsy to see the kind of return on and popularity of handmade accessories like this right now.

They're cool and thanks for sharing :3

Or pet collars, or as the actual key ring, with metal rings threaded onto it rather than just a dangly keychain. Let's see some more, experiment with stitches and colors.

There are many cheap books you can get patterns from- you can see how they are knotted but obviously you can make them more manly if you want lol

haha i remember those things i think i even have some of that string.
yeah there pretty strong.
the all greyish one one strand of string can withstand around 200 lb. and the others one string can withstand about 550 lb.
grey is a confusing word i dont know if its an e or a and now both look wrong.
ive seen them on etsy and there about 10 dollars. which i think is expensive.
i was thinking about 5 for the ones that are easier to make then others and then maybe the most 10 for bracelet. the dog collar is maybe 15.
i also wanna make a dog leash for my dog i think that would be real cool
Thanks for your opinion

those look insane! haha but kinda girly. they still look awesome tho

i have one with a keychain on it but i didnt put a picture of it up. i plan on getting some keychains to day to make some. i feel like older people would like those. maybe to sport there team colors or a rasta one who knows. but i feel like younger people would like the bracelts. like middle school would probably love them.
i found alot of different designs that i plan on trying. when i do them ill put pictures up here for yall

You're very welcome. Gray is US, grey is UK, and the rest of the world seems to use one or the other interchangeably.

Wow, they are strong- that's a great asset. It makes them a bit more than a flimsy accessory.

I still have a couple hundred of the strings in my cupboard somewhere... when you can get like 100 for $2.50.

It also depends on your own proficiency- if it doesn't take long for you to make them you can afford to lower the selling price and make up for it on sales volume. Yours look really quite neat so I can assume you're really good at it ^^ Aslo up to how much time you want to put into production. It's a great, more grown-up and practical version of kiddie's scoubidous. I'd do some testing with the dog leash (tangling, suppleness, security, but you did say the cord itself is veyr strong), but definitely you could make some awesome handles, straps- maybe phone cases if you stitched them together or made a wide weave. Very nice, sir x

I have seen some truly crazy scoubidou designs. Really insane complex stuff. Have you tried making letters for personalization? I think team colors is a great idea, maybe with added logo tags if you can get them done cheaply. Did someone say Rasta?

My crush bought me this one <3



Speaking of Rasta Colo

I have a buddy who makes and sells the same stuff.He makes good money at gun shows selling the bracelets
yeah its paracord. thats a good place haha
i saw someone in florida at my sisters lacrosse tourny selling them and ive never seen anything like it before so i thought why not try and sell them.
its better then gettng a actual job right now haha
i was just thinking about on the street by a university or by the stadium before games with team colors. also the farmers market might be a good place

i found out that the basic weave is about 1 foot of cord per inch of bracelet.
so its about 8 feet of cord for a normal bracelet.

I'd pay for a harness that fit my rat decently...but fitting anything to a rat is a real chore in and of itself.

so i went to the website survivalstraps.com
and there shit is out of control pricey 25 dollars for a normal bracelet that is so expensive.
i feel like 10 dollars is even expensive
i would even ship one for 10 dollars if someone wanted it
25 is super steep but i guess you have like 50000 different color combinations. idk if i can do all that haha but i can probably do alot of colors
