Here we go!  My first attempt at lanyards - and a dog collar....

Let me know what you think - Honestly.

I've made some in CAMO as well... You just cant see the colors as well with camo :)

Very pretty, but I'd like to see some pictures of the entire lanyard so we can see how the drops come off and what they look like. Sure is good looking braid work though.

Good design/layout,..

 Knotting looks very very consistent (that is the hard part)  :yes:

 How do you keep the bands on ? glue or are they crimped on ? either way a nice bit o' flash to set your work apart from others....

 I look forward to more of your work "SpinnerOfParacord"  :bigup:  :bigup:

Thanks for the comments.  Yes, the bands are glued on with CA.  It bonds very well for me.  I have been playing around with it making sure it will hold in the long run...  I am not sure if people use some small amounts of glue on their lanyards.  I do hope that CA will keep the two bonded.

Those look GREAT. The camo is'nt supposed to show up, it camo after all.....LOL Honestly though, they look great. I bought Lil'Bit a "bracelet" the other day at the gun show for $3.00. It's actually a "midget dog collar" that she gave to her Momma. That's as close as I can get to anything like those. GREAT JOB, keep it up. :rockon:
