Paracord Wallet Chains

I had to do some repairs on my wallet recently so I created a few different paracord sustitutes for the chain. This one is an open snake style and is about 14" long - it has 2 strands of military-spec 550 paracord, accented with 2 beads and 2 split rings. (The chain I replaced was 13" long.) I used Black and Brown for the parachute cord and light brown beads. The split rings (key rings) I used are 20mm (3/4" diameter). You can find other pictures of this here.



This one is a closed snake style and is about 12" long - it has 2 strands of military-spec 550 paracord, accented with 2 beads and 2 split rings. The chain I replaced was 13" long but because of the tight knotting it's stiff so I made this shorter. I used Black and Tan for the parachute cord and Black beads. The split rings (key rings) I used are 20mm (3/4" diameter). You can find other pictures of this here.





This one is done with square knotting and is about 9 1/2" long - it has 1 strand of military-spec 550 paracord, accented with a bead and 1 split ring. The chain I replaced was 13" long but because of the tight knotting it's stiff so I made this shorter. I used Black for the parachute cord and a Light Brown bead. The split ring (key ring) I used is 20mm (3/4" diameter).




You can find other pictures of this here. (Because this is black it's hard to see the detail of the square knotting so take a look at this pic.)
