Or they may work the cord in as they tie it. <br /><br />I'd tie the woven/fishtail bracelet first, then use a lacing needle with blue cord and do the corkscrew method to create the blue line effect down the center of the bracelet.<br /><br />I'd anchor the blue cord by running down the core of the bracelet for an inch or two towards one buckle end, then come up through the weave and back down across and out the other side of the bracelet, working towards the other end of the bracelet. Each time you would flip the bracelet over as you progress. Hope that helps. :)Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-19173926372273482282017-04-07T07:49:59.174-04:002017-04-07T07:49:59.174-04:00Hi stormdrane, can you help me figure out how this...Hi stormdrane, can you help me figure out how this https://www.etsy.com/listing/237339561/sale-police-blue-line-wide-fishtail<br />was done?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-3697090490082449292015-07-11T22:27:46.782-04:002015-07-11T22:27:46.782-04:00@Diego, Looks to be a woven version around 4 core ...@Diego, Looks to be a woven version around 4 core strands.

For some 1/2" and 5/8" size buckles.<br /><br />For a six strand core, cow ring hitch, down around the other buckle end once at wrist size, back up and around the starting buckle end, then down and around the second buckle end again, gives you six strands to knot/weave around. For 5/8" sized or larger buckles.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-64859086096326623682014-05-04T00:28:42.743-04:002014-05-04T00:28:42.743-04:00How do you start the woven style paracord?
