I ordered some of the round breakaways you used in the cobra stitch one. <br /><br />BTW, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, I've made some nice pieces with your help.<br /><br />RobRecoil Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485195833694475345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-8310866891543390722011-03-04T17:52:52.819-05:002011-03-04T17:52:52.819-05:00@Rob, To add a break-away to these types of lanya...@Rob, To add a break-away to these types of lanyards, you might try tying them as shown first, then cut the cords in the middle of the lanyard. <br /><br />Flatten out the cord ends by removing some(1/4" to 1/2") of the inner strands of each cord, then pulling the outer sheath back over and quick melting the end, to prevent fraying, and press flat.<br /><br />Organize the ends to fit into a flat type break-away clip, <a href="http://www.lanyardsupply.com/ly503/safety-breakaway-buckles-LY-CC503HD-8.htm" rel="nofollow">example link</a> , and that may work well.

Any thoughts about how to put a break...Stormdrane,<br /><br />Any thoughts about how to put a breakaway fitting in this type of neck lanyard? I'd like to make one a bit lighter than the cobra stitch breakaway you showed.<br /><br />thanks, RobRecoil Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485195833694475345noreply@blogger.com
