Before you begin braiding anything with paracord, it is important to buy enough cables, given that the length of paracord you should buy depends on the type of braid you will do.

For smaller accessories such as a watch or bracelet band, about 15 feet should be enough. For a simple braid, a short length of rope can be used but generally, the rule of thumb is to cut out or order more than you think you'll need to be on guard.

For those of you who are just starting or are interested in starting their first projects with the greatest amount of ease, it would be better to start with a typical braid and use objects you can wrap paracord around each end while braiding to ensure that it is as tight as possible.

For a typical braided pattern, depending on the width of the item you are thinking of making, you will need to wrap at least 3 to 4 loops around the two nails fixed or post-type fixtures.

Cobra weaves a little more complex, but still pretty easy. Braid type normally used in the manufacture of belt paracord survival. When using cobra weave you do not need to post remains as mentioned earlier, you, however, need a long enough length of paracord.

Start by folding the circular paracord in the middle and upper end so that the weaving process is a little faster and easier, otherwise you will have to pass a lot of wires down and on top of each other can be very tedious and tiring after a while.

Now, take a left end of the paracord and pass under the center strands, then take a right past the end of the lower left end, upper central strands and through the loop created by the left and then pull out the slack. Repeat the steps, but start with the right end of the cable this time.
