Start by choosing Paracord, accent beads and a featured bead. Whenever possible choose a feature bead that matches up with hike's theme.

1) Cut a piece of paracord 10 to 12 inches. Use a candle to melt the ends. Using and a pair of thick leather glove shape the end of the cord in to a cone to make feeding the beads easier.

2) Put the beads on the cord

3) Match up the ends and tie a single knot

4) Removing the inner strings of the paracord can help reduce the paracords size when putting beads on the paracord.
