Be Knotty and Nice — Make Paracord Bracelets for Christmas Gifts!
Paracord bracelets are a thoughtful gift, and Uncle Sam’s has so many different styles of cord, you can make a different one for everyone on your gift list!
Paracord bracelets serve as friendship bracelets, but they also let the recipient easily carry a useful amount of cord for myriad purposes.
You’ll need about a foot of paracord for each inch of bracelet. Measure the wrist of your gift-recipient, or go with 8″ for women and 10″ for guys as a starting point.
In addition to the wide array of colors and patterns of cord, we also have plenty of additional items that you can use to make each bracelet special: whistle buckles, metal shackles, and wristband compasses are among the special touches your friends and family will appreciate.
