Get Creative and Crafty: Learn How to Make a Durable Paracord Dog Leash!

1. Introduction

Making a paracord dog leash is an easy and fun project that you can do at home. With just a few simple materials, you can create a durable and stylish leash that will last for years. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make your own paracord dog leash step-by-step.

2. Gathering Materials for a Paracord Dog Leash

The first step in making your paracord dog leash is to gather the necessary materials. You’ll need:
• Paracord (at least 10 feet)
• Scissors
• Lighter
• Dog collar clasp or buckle
• Measuring tape
• Lanyard knotting tool (optional)

3. Measuring and Cutting the Paracord

Once you have all of the necessary materials, it’s time to measure and cut the paracord. Start by measuring out 10 feet of paracord and then cut it with scissors or a knife. Make sure to leave about 1 inch of extra cord on each end for securing the ends later on in the process.

4. Making the Handle of the Leash

Now it’s time to make the handle of your leash. Take your 10 feet of paracord and fold it in half so that you have two 5 foot lengths of cord side by side. Then tie an overhand knot at one end, leaving about 4 inches of slack at each side of the knot. This will be where you attach your clasp or buckle later on in the process.

5. Attaching the Clasp to the Handle

To attach your clasp or buckle, thread one side of it through both strands of paracord at one end of your handle loop and then pull tight so that it is secure. You may need to use pliers or a lanyard knotting tool if needed to ensure that everything is secure before moving onto the next step in the process.

6 Creating a Loop at One End of The Leash

Now take one end of your 10 feet long piece of paracord and tie an overhand knot, leaving about 4 inches of slack between each strand as before when making the handle loop earlier on in this guide.. This will create a loop at one end which will be used for attaching your dog’s collar later on in this guide..

7 Securing The Loop With A Lanyard Knot

To secure this loop, tie a lanyard knot using both strands from either side as demonstrated below:

Step 1: Take both strands from either side and pass them over each other twice as shown below:

Step 2: Now take both strands from either side again and pass them under each other once as shown below:

Step 3: Now take both strands from either side again and pass them over each other twice as shown below:

Step 4: Finally pull tight on all four strands until everything is secure as shown below:

8 Finishing Touches On Your Paracord Dog Leash

Now all that’s left to do is finish up any final touches such as burning off any excess cord with a lighter or adding any additional decorations such as beads or charms if desired.. Once everything has been finished up, simply attach your dog’s collar onto one end with a carabiner clip (not included) and voila! You now have yourself a durable and stylish homemade paracord dog leash!
