A couple more...

Still playing around with the smaller sized dreamcatcher types.... For one of them, I used another smaller split ring/key ring covered with 2mm sized cord and centered it inside the knot work.

Dreamcatcher fob

I first used a short section of gutted green paracord to work over a keyring. Then I used white 0.9mm braided nylon cord to make the dreamcatcher knot work over the keyring . And finally taking a length of 550 cord through the Spyderco knife's lanyard hole, looping the ends around the dreamcatcher fob and doing a section of snake knots to finish.

Added a few more photos. There are plenty of online instructions for dreamcatcher tying methods if you google them. You can vary the look by how many hitches you initially make around the ring and how tight/loose you you do them as you go and what cord you use.


I do the dreamcatcher before adding the paracord for the lanyard/fob, so the photo showing the cord looped around the ring is just how/where on the keyring it goes and it'll cover the starting knot of the hitching.

Paracord zipper pull with a label...

One of the members of EDC Forums recently started a thread asking about zipper pulls with labels. They wanted to put a BOB(Bug Out Bag/Bail Out Bag = bag or pack with emergency essentials) in the trunk of their wife's car and have the zipper pulls labeled in some way to easily identify the contents of each pocket/compartment of the bag/pack. That would certainly save some time with digging through a bag or pack when looking for specific items like a FAK(First Aid Kit), Tools, Flashlight, Rope/Paracord, Duct Tape, Knife, etc...

My suggestion was to utilize some Tyvek material, which is strong, durable, flexible, and waterproof. Over time, the material usually softens up if handled often, yet still retains it's strength. You can find some other items made with it, or make something yourself like shown with this Instructable link and this YouTube link.

For the example that I made, I cut a strip from a Tyvek envelope, colored the material with a red Sharpie, labeled it 'FIRST AID', wrapped it around a paracord zipper pull made with a 'lanyard knot', and used some glue to attach it to itself. Different colors could also be used as a personal 'code' for the contents with or without labeling them.

If Tyvek material isn't used or available, maybe paper with scotch tape over it to protect it could be used, or a clear section of a straw/clear air tubing  might also work to fit over the label, etc... I'm sure some folks can come up with some interesting ideas to try.
