Key chain carabiners

I added some 'Long 3 bight turks head' knots to these key chain carabiners.

If you're looking for some smaller diameter cord like I've used here(got mine off ebay), try contacting R&W Rope Warehouse((800) 260-8599), call and tell 'em what you're looking for since they're not set up to sell online. The 'Handy Hundred' cord looks like a good candidate for knot work, though I've not tried it myself.

And with some 1/16" glow-in-the-dark cord from CoolGlowStuff.com.

Nice work, I'm still trying to learn the longer turk heads. Creative Idea!

Your TKH's are very nice!

Handy Hundred is great stuff! I use it a lot. R & W also makes a cord they call 'Kite String' and it is only 0.9 mm in diameter. It comes in 300-foot spools. It's great for REALLY small knots. I am using it to cover a few bottles with macrame.

I Live just north of R&W been to there shop a couple of times they have what ever you could be looking for. From waxed thread to 4" tow line for a tug boat. The guys there are super nice too check them out.

I really like those. But how do you make that long turks head with that small line?

After making a few, I think it's easier with the smaller diameter cord because there's less cord to work/feed thru the knot as it's being made compared with larger diameter paracord.

I'am confused Stormdrane!! On the long 3 bight of Mr. Brewers tutorial,in the fourth frame it shows over 3 and not sure after that? Then in the 6 frame it shows over 2 around it appears to show a line to the left of standing end? But in the 7 frame it calls out to the left of standing end? I have tried and tried. I think that I can get to the over 3, but clearly I'am lost.Can you please give me some direction? Thank's so much Scot

@Scot, You can try watching my YouTube video tutorial for tying the long 3 bight and see if that helps...
