This my paracord bracelet. Made with OD green and reflective orange. I put plastic clips which I prefer to just a knot. Have some multi purpose clips from Wazoo coming so I will be making more of them.

One of many, Ive made through the years. This one with a smallish ti shackle from CountyComm.
I find other buckle solutions impractical and Ive tried most. Be it no shackle or cumbersome adjustable-for-length shackles.
NB dont use 'paracord' from just any old cheap fly-by-night (Chinese) source but buy from trusted vendors selling non-toxic paracord for bracelets. That might save you from (at the very least) an allergic reaction.
Edit; have bought plenty cheap cord buy dont use it for bracelets (use it for ridge lines etc).
made these today

I like to use a single, long piece for bracelets to maximize usable length.
Started with my figure 8 on a bight for the knots lesson.
tied an ugly stopper knot
then did the cobra knot from the stopper knot back to the loop knot. Since I seem to have a scarcity mindset regarding cordage, I can't seem to make myself cut it shorter unless it's needed for a specific project. So I looped the "extra" back into the bracelet, making a king cobra knot across part of the bracelet.
The loop fits over the stopper knot to hold everything in place.

(E.7) PARACORD BRACELET. Gratitude to Instructor Josh. My first paracord bracelet. Used the soft shackle per the instructor's video and I like it.
HOW IT WENT: Two false starts were experienced partly because, as Instructor Josh said, a newly started bracelet looks odd the first few turns. The false starts taught me how the paracord moves when making this cobra weave, a.k.a. the Solomon weave.
It took awhile to realize that the cobra weave is a series of half hitches on either side of the core strands, interlocking with the prior half hitch. That understanding helped me to handle the paracord a little more efficiently.
CLEAN FINISH: Being this was my first time making a paracord bracelet, my goal was to keep it simple, emulate the instructor without adding embellishments, and fully meet the lesson's requirements. However, I did go berserker wild by using a "clean finish" where one end is tucked around to finish parallel to the other end. There they can be snipped and melted together.

A Paracord bracelet for my bride!
Nice guys
I made a bracelet with a two strand twist cord for the core strand which I would back down the outside of the bracelet, twisted cobra weave on the outside. The toggle is a knife lanyard bead that I haven't been using lately.

Nice; the toggle doesn't get in the way of daily working?
You've got a good point, it is a little annoying after wearing it a bit. I'll redo the clasp, I think I might have something in the spare parts bin.
I like it. I like the staircase look of it as well.
Thanks!

The purple accent looks good.
