How to make a fishtail paracord bracelet
The fishtail bracelet is made using a simple weave. In the following tutorial I will show you how to make the bracelet. We will start by making a larks head knot with one cord onto another. We will then take the two cords on the left and section them away from the two right ones. The right two cords will serve as a cord. This core should be as long as your wrist plus about a foot of cord for making the lanyard knot to finish the bracelet with.
Because this is a weaving technique you can help yourself with the simple observation: You will be weaving by going over one cord, under the next, then under and over again. Then switch colors!
