Cobra Stitch Key Fob

               For this key fob I used about 10.5 to 11 ft. of blue Macrame cord, but you can use paracord or anything else that works for you. With this measurement, I made my key fob 9" long (including the key loop).
           
               I stated out with a lanyard knot, leaving a loop of about 2" for any attachment like a key ring. Then I extended the two ends of the cord, and at the length of 9", then I put a snap hook to hold it there. I then started the Cobra Stitch. I continued tying it until I reached the lanyard knot, then I went over the Cobra Stitch with a King Cobra. The I fused the ends in place with super glue.

                And you can even do a king cobra over the king cobra (I don't know what you call that). And you have to double the amount of cord you use for the cobra stitch to tie the king cobra and triple it to do the king over king cobra stitch.

      You can attach any accessory to it, use different colours, ect. Just use your imagination!!!!!!
         


Sorry, I couldn't find any blue paracord, so I this is a link for blue macrame cord.           

Cobra Stitch Bracelet

This is my first creation using a decorative knot. This is called the Cobra Stitch. When I first saw it, I was like," I MUST make one!" So I looked around the house and found a pack of shoelaces. I sewed the two shoelaces together and started the the stitch. And I even cut the side release buckle from an old school bag.

 This bracelet is 8 1/2 " long excluding the buckle. So I used around maybe 6 ft of this shoelace. First I hitched it on one end of the buckle, then hitched it around the other end of the buckle, leaving a 8 1/2 " in between. Then I started the cobra stitch. Once I reached the ends where I started from, I cut off the excess lace and super glued the ends in place. You can add some beads, tags, etc. if you want.

This is no perfection (forgive me for that), but hey, it was my first try. And since I don't want you all to scavange the items you need from around the house, I have posted some links to the materials. Hope you are patient enough to wait till they arrive (unlike me).
