So when the folks at SpeedyJig <\/a>contacted me and asked if I would like to try one of their jigs, I jumped at the chance!<\/p>\n I requested that they send me the XL jig<\/span> because I wanted to be able to use it to make longer items such as triple wrap bracelets or necklaces. The first thing I did was attempt to follow their instructions and use the included materials to make a paracord bracelet.<\/p>\n I found the instructions a little tricky to follow,<\/strong> although in all fairness if I had read a little bit more slowly and carefully it might\u2019ve been fine. A couple of additional explanations would\u2019ve been helpful.<\/p>\n With the help of a YouTube video<\/a> and also an online instructable<\/a> I was able to complete the project.<\/p>\n I also used this jig to making a wavy Chan Luu wrap style bracelet and found it to be incredibly helpful to be able to adjust the tension throughout the process. Check back next Tuesday for that video!<\/p>\n Btw, if you are thinking about making paracord jewelry there are LOTS of different types of clasps you can put on your survival bracelet.<\/strong> Some of them include compasses, fire starters, whistles, adjustable slides or other useful things. Scroll through the link in the list below for many fascinating options.<\/p>\n These work up SO quickly! <\/strong>Don’t tell them, but each of my guys will be getting one for their upcoming birthdays.<\/p>\n Hooray for quick & easy (and useful… and possibly life saving…) gifts for guys!<\/p>\n Tools and Materials:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n![\"ff](\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/beads-and-jewelry\/ff-speedyjig.JPG\")
