The first thing to do is get the right materials. Get a scissors, lighter, two 36 inches of paracord, and a 79 inch paracord. The colors are all up to you. To start, get the long paracord and one of the short ones. Find the two centers of the two cords. Pick up the long cords center and you make that end make an O. Then, the smaller cord goes through that O of the longer cord and bring that down. Then, grab all the 2 inside strings and pull it through the longer cord that went down. You push the knot up and then that is the first knot and that is the beginning of your bracelet.

Step 2:

The next step to do is actually making your bracelet. So, you grab that 2nd 36 inch paracord and put it around the two strings that are going in both of the O shaped circles. Then, you do the something on the back of the bracelet. So, bring that cord around to the back. Do not pull it through all the way, pull it out for a couple inches. So, now you have all 5 cord strings beneath the whole knot. Grab the outside right cord and bring it to the left outside cord. The left outside cord goes over the right outside cord and the left outside cord goes through the right circle on the bracelet. Pull the string all the way through. Pull the two outside strings and you make a little knot. Next, the last 36 inch cord (mines black) you added well you grab that and put it over all the other cords from the left side to the right and its at a slant. The left outside cord goes over that 36 inch the one that was slanted over the rest. That goes over the left outside cord and then, the right outside cord goes through the left circle all the way. Next, you pull the two outside cords to make another knot. Adjust anything if needed. Continue forward tell the end of the bracelet.

Step 3:

The next thing to do after the whole bracelet is done, you make the final knot. First, cut off the two outside cords and the odd color then, light it with the lighter so it does not fringe. All that is left is the two middle cords. Bring the right cord over the left and make a loop with the right cord and place the loop over the circle. The right cord goes through the loop and the circle and then back through it again. Then, slightly tighten it but not too tight. The left cord goes the back way through the middle of the knot and so does the right cord right after. Then, tighten the whole knot and make sure it is really tight. Cut off any cord left at the bottom of the knot and light it with the lighter. That is how you make a Striped Solomon.

The Final Look

This is how it looks when you put the knot through the hole.
