Step 2: Paracord Belt Tutorial Threading Your Paracord Belt Buckle

First off, you do not need to cut your paracord rope. The looping process of this paracord belt makes it so

you do not need to measure how long the rope should be. You will just keep unraveling the paracord to loop

into your paracord belt as you make it.

This is how you start your paracord belt

Using a match or lighter, melt the end of your paracord belt rope so that it does not fray[/caption] Now, grab

your paracord belt buckle and take one side to start your loops. Make sure you melt the frayed end of the

paracord so that does not become unraveled.

Looping the paracord through the belt buckle

You are going to loop the buckle 4 times, leaving the loops slightly loose to give space for paracord to pass

through the loops.

You will loop the paracord 4 times like this.

Tie the melted end so that it does not come undone from the paracord belt buckle.

Step 3: Begin the weaving process of your paracord belt with your first through loop. (TL=through loop)

This is how you begin making loops.

Loop the paracord back through so that you have a loop that looks like this.

Take the unmelted end in your hand and make a loop with it. Now take that loop and slide it through the 4

buckle loops. Leave a few inches of the through loop (TL) at the end. You are going to want to make sure

that the through loop is positioned with the continuing end at the top. This is what you are going to use to

create more loops, so you need to have access to pull more paracord for your use.

Step 4: Create your finger loops. (FL= finger loop)

You need to keep these a little loose so you can weave through the loops.

Slightly spread your 4 belt loops apart to reveal the through loop (TL). Make sure that the top part of the

through loop (TL) is the part of the paracord that continues to your extra paracord, and not the one that

connects to the buckle loops. Now grab your skewer and pull up the (TL) into new loops in between the belt

loops.

Do this until you have 4 loops total including your (TL). You want to make sure that all of these loops are

roughly the width of your finger. Your (TL) has now become one of your finger loops (FL).

The most difficult part of this paracord belt weave is the beginning. It may take you a few times to get it

right.

Patience. Once you figure it out, the rest is easy.

Place your finger inside the finger loops (FL). Make sure that your (FL) are twisted clockwise when placing

on your finger. You always want the part of the loop closest to the excess paracord to be facing you.

Step 5: Thread finger loops (FL) with another through loop (TL).

Now you are going to basically repeat steps 3-5.

Make sure all if your (FL) are twisted in the right direction before you thread your (TL).

Thread your (TL) through your (FL). Make sure that your running end of paracord is on the top side of

your (TL).

Step 6: Tighten your finger loops (FL).

To start tightening your (FL) you are going to take your second (FL) in the row and pull on the back piece.

This will start to tighten your first (FL).

Work you way down the row, pulling from the back of the loops to tighten the loop in front of it.

Lastly, you are going to pull on the (TL) on the bottom side of the loop that is attached to the (FL) to tighten

them down. Now you have completed your first row of loops! Once you’ve got this down, all your belt is,

is this repeating pattern.

Step 7:

Repeat, repeat, repeat. Patience, patience, patience. Here are pictures of the next row to reiterate what

was just shown.

Make sure your through loop (TL) has the running end on top. This is where you are going to make

your (FL) from.

Create all your finger loops. (FL)

Make sure to twist them clock wise so that the running end is facing towards you.

Thread the (TL) then tighten. And repeat. Continue this process until your belt is long enough to fit around

your waist.

Step 8:

Finish your paracord belt. The last step is to attach your paracord to the other side of the belt buckle.

Create another row of (FL). Take all the (FL) and slide them through the paracord belt

loop.

Create another (TL) and run it though the (FL) that are through the belt buckle.

Tighten your loops and leave your (TL) open just a

bit.

Cut your paracord with a little extra slack and then run it though the (TL).

Tie a knot to keep it secure and then melt the end of the paracord so your paracord belt doesn’t unravel.

How to Make a Paracord Belt: Hope this tutorial and the instructions help you make a great survival belt like

this

And now you have a completed paracord belt! Time to try it on!

Tips and tricks: There are a few things you want to be aware of while weaving your belt. The paracord like

to twist up on you while you are looping it. Be sure to untwist the paracord while you are working with it

otherwise it will cause your weave to look wrong.

Be sure to not tighten your loops too much either. This will also screw with the look of your weave, and

make it difficult to pull out when its time for you to use your paracord.

your knot, detach from your buckle, and then pull the end of the paracord. Your belt will begin to unravel.
