How to Make the "Conquistador" Paracord Bracelet - BoredParacord.com DIY

[@larrybloomer1536]

I used this tutorial to make a belt 5 loops wide, 48 inches long, using 160 feet of cord. The twisting is normal and I found that walking all the excess the length of the house running it through fingers every other row worked well. Cats playing with cord made it interesting. Total weave time was around 20 hours spread over a month. Beautiful when finished, and no a 100 dollar bill will not get me to make another. Thank You Shawn for the tutorial.

[@JeffLMeadePK57]

thanks Larry i'm fixing to make a belt 1 1/2" by 45" long and was wondering how many feet i would need so i got 200 feet hopefully it will be enough

I am 67 years old and I got interested in Paracord bracelets, to make for my grandkids and Family. You are the only person I can follow directions with. You are so good at explaining. I just wanted to say Thank you. I just found this Conquistador with you and haven't had any trouble so far! Thank You. I was watching another video...had me all crazy !! LOL. I've already made 12 of your bracelets. 👏

[@500sureshot]

I’m coming up on 70y/o = daaah…‼️I’m wanting to make my 11y/o grandson a strap for his new Ukulele - &- I see a long process ‼️ But, … You give me the inspiration to at least try-Thanks👏

[@patrickhickey3072]

I saw this bracelet and I thought it was too complicated for me to do. Your video got me thru the 1st 3 rows, and I was off and running! I'm a Conquistdor machine!!!!

[@quasefofa6913]

My name is Nina, I've been following the channel for some time already .. I'm from Brazil and I've made several of these bracelets ...

[@jameswilliamson6277]

Quase Fofa WoW u r awesome

[@tylerwieckert609]

Quase Fofa can I have one

[@dartagnanv8der613]

I accidentally ordered 425 cord and just finished making this in gold. Beautiful! Thank you for this tutorial Shawn!

[@prototypep4]

I do the conquistador in reverse to what you did so you get a bordering pattern on the outside. One of my favourites to do.

[@mre912]

Made mine in your Army colored paracord. I did 4 loops instead of 3. It looks so badass. took me a couple hours. So worth the time. Thanks Shawn!!

[@tamarawalker3469]

How wide did yours turn out?

[@ruggedrickrude1946]

hoooooooRah

[@whitebuffalodesigns567]

The specs are 1.5 to 2 ft per inch. This increases with wider buckles and more then 4 loops.
I make bracelets for 7.5" to 8.25" wrist on 1 inch buckles. 5 loops needs 22ft & 27 ft respectively. 6 loops add another 4 ft or so.
Also working from the back of the buckle gives you a much nicer finish on the right side.

[@ruggedrickrude1946]

i want to make 4 loop....I have 9in wrist,total paracord for this size,does that also compensate for thickness of bracelet ty

[@The01sportster]

Takes me an hour to make a 8" bracelet

[@TomServo_MST3K]

2-year comment necro, but thank you! Just saw the video and was going to do a 4-loop version on a 5/8ths buckle and was trying to calculate the cord requirements in my head when i saw this. Kudos.

[@LocalMachine]

We love Bored Paracord, learned a ton from him.

[@Herodotus3]

I have to say: when I don't forget how to do this it is my favorite bracelet to make. That and the solomon's dragon. Thank you so much, Shawn!

[@Deibodese]

Thanks so much, man! Your tutorials have really helped me get going in paracord!

[@drengskap]

Think I've finally got the hang of this, after a lot of mistakes and backtracking - the basic moves are simple, but it's amazing how many ways to go wrong there are! This seems more like knitting than weaving to me, since you're not working across static core strands, but joining each row to the row before.

[@spring.04]

I love this bracelet! You've explainer it very slow and i want to thank you for that. Thank you very much!!!
Best wishes from Julia (from The Netherlands)

[@thomashess8531]

"FINALLY!!" Thank You Shawn! I'm on my way to finishing my first Conquistador bracelet. Your tut are the best.

[@edennis8913]

Made my first conquistador bracelet the other day, I didn't have a fid, so I made one out of a piece of wood- hollowed out the end and glued it a tiny round brass nut into the void I made, and it works like a charm
I sold the bracelet for enough to order the "tighter fid combo set
Can't wait to get it ordered, but I'm sure I'll still use the one I made

[@ruggedrickrude1946]

search this on youtube........How to make a paracord fid / lacing needle for about $1.10

[@joshrandal6982]

You've come a long way since the friendship bracelet, much slicker intro, same white man hands, easy to understand as before, BIG watch. Good luck Bored

[@brynt91]

you mentioned it is good for guitar straps, also good for belts

[@williamedwards8183]

brynt91 hope you have patience and lots of cord. Looks great but if 6 or 7 loops wide... takes for ever pulling all that cord thru. Not to mention the snagging

[@securitytechnician]

I did a 5 strand 8 inch bracelet. It took about 4 hours to complete.

[@cgallup1]

Just made one with cord I bought from you 3 weeks ago this is my 10th bracelet so far . I like the maroon coord you used I need to get some of that. Lol new hobby already making me impulse buy. Lol

[@johntruttero]

Thank you for the video, my partner had raised eyebrow cause I kept saying: down to go up, up to go down. It looks awesome dude very happy.

[@alclifton59]

Made my first Conquistador bracelet. Came out so well had my wife wanted one too.

[@ronroxyoursox]

Alan Clifton I've made several so far and I'm gonna try to make a couple belts

[@pollitogrillitoLZ]

I just did this one i run out of cord lol so i mixed with another color still look good, i like this design more than the trilobite of earlier! Thanks for the vid

[@nobracobra]

finally finished and wow... came out really nice... since there is a bit of room on the buckle, will try out 4 strands on the 3/8 buckle with 95 cord on my next beauty... lol

[@feroba2k]

My favorite paracord bracelet.

[@nobracobra]

i "started" a 3 strand bracelet with 95 cord realizing how loose mine was about a third of the way in and how beautiful a weave this produces, i set my first bracelet aside and started another... this time... 3/8 buckle and 3 strand 95 flim flam lol tyfs

[@nobracobra]

3/8 buckle, 4 strand, 95 napa valley... 3 strand 95 on 3/8 buckle was 1/2 inch wide... hoping 4 strand should only be 5/8 inch wide... wish me well lol turned out really nice at 3/4 inches... thank you so much for a wonderful tut

[@micelular3998]

Muchas gracias!
Excelente trabajo!

[@HazyNites]

Wow this looks really complicated, I might have to wait til I get a lot better before I try this one... thanks for sharing this! I’m saving and favoriting this one and will eventually come back to try this one.

[@MK7of7of7of7]

Thank you. You have no idea how many of these bracelets from your pattern I've made, also you don't know how many times I've had to refer back to this video because I've went totally brain dead about which direction I'm going etc. It is so so simple yet my mind can't wrap itself around it. Ha ha I've got it now but wow! I like all your videos and just for your info you say two things quite a bit. "I just don't know what I did with my smoothing tool" and "I can't see the flame" too funny!

[@user-kg3do5we4u]

One of my favorite bracelets is when I used 325 paracord

[@christopherbrown7546]

Super cool!! We’re having fun making all kinds of bracelets

[@gmoneyhomie]

Can you do a wide gaucho knot bracelet?

[@gracieramos9860]

Thank you for all your tutorials. You make everything easy to follow. Hope to see an app for iOS soon. Thank you again.

[@lebeauhairextensions]

Gracie Ramos peppers

[@robinsoncalderon9365]

La hice con un hilo diferente y sin aguja, me quedo muy bien, aunque admito que fue complicado pero satisfactorio

[@travisshalosky136]

So how long did it take you to make the conquistador bracelet?

[@The_Hyghlander]

I'm thinking of using the "Conquistador" loop/braid/stitch for a fone case/pouch.

[@jakeySquarre]

Timothy Hare u should do it if you haven’t already i did one for mine and it looks amazing
Nah jk i didn’t do that but you should try, i want to see what it looks like

[@BobaFett907]

Do they have a print book of these knots and weaves?

[@ernestheiniger9110]

So what was the final length of bracelet, and the total cord amount of paracord used.

[@michellekellogg9943]

Thank you I have a learning disability undiagnosed and I was able to follow u and make a keychain that was desperately needed t j.g e one my friend gave me the Caribbeaner broke

[@richfieldstudio3226]

Can you please measure the length of the excess paracord so you can show us an estimated length of the material(cord) used on the bracelet so we(viewer) can save on cord. Thanks

[@denilsonguimaraes5417]

O seu vídeo é muito legal e ande vender esse tipos de agualha

[@manbeefcake]

THANK GOD FOR FAST FORWARD!

[@andres_m_gamer1777]

I would like to know how many meters it consumes

[@ceretexboodie6793]

Hi.
Is it possible to make a 3 colour conquistador bracelet in knot and loop or Mad Max style. Would like to make one with different colours but do not want to use a buckle.

[@hoggif]

That's great looking weave, I like it!

[@mariamathias3345]

Parabéns pelo seu lindo trabalho ficou Showwww!!..❤..muito Lindo!!

[@johntruttero]

Great video bud can’t wait to start mine keep up the great work

[@DavidBrown-in8hi]

What size buckle?

[@josemariamartienzferrer5137]

Sois unos verdaderos artistas. 🤙👊🤯👀

[@whitebuffalodesigns567]

A pair of small straight or curved forceps work much easier then needle nose pliers. because they are smaller and fit tight spaces better.

[@BigHenFor]

Forceps won't snag the paracord either.

[@abdelrahmanramadan446]

I from egypt but your video is very very beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

[@PaoloDurandetto]

Hi, did you have any idea on why it's call "conquistador"? Thank you.

[@user-wz8lu6en5z]

Size of the buckle?

[@sophiefotinaki]

Σιγά μην σου πεί...
Η 3/8"...στριμωχτά
Η 5/8"...
Υποθετικά 😀
Κορδόνι? Κατάλαβες πόσο θέλει??

[@adrianhenderson1487]

what id
what is the Buckle size and how much paracord for a 8.5 wrist? Thanks

[@lbump60]

Hey Shawn. You never said how much cord you started with.......

[@ronroxyoursox]

at 1:48 he says he's got 20'

[@MeDoMeer]

I love your videos, but maybe for next time, keep the fixing the cord in there so we know how to fix that easily as well! Or do you have another video about that which i've looked over?

[@jaikobsmommyanndria1502]

Love your videos

[@jameswilliamson6277]

That is so cool

[@jeanbaptistebeauvois5523]

Hello, i live your tuto!! Howard many feet use for this bracelet pelade? (Sorry for my english)!

[@Steelbird3]

Will have a go at this later, might try the 95 cord but was wondering will I need the same amount or will I need to double the length??
You used 20 but had about 4 leftover, so to be safe should I use 40 foot (😦)
If you do see this.. was wondering where the arrow head looking buckles on your site gone? liked them

[@rajveersuhalka2501]

Aap ya dhage kahan se Lata ho

[@Ancisace]

How the heck do you stop the paracord getting all twisted up and snarled on itself? By the time I was on the second loop the cord was already so twisted it was impossible to pull it through :(

[@spring.04]

Ancisace haha i had the same, Just pull it trough youre fingers and then it shouldend be as bad anymore

[@dreglo1000]

Is it possible to add a shoelace charm to the middle of this bracelet?

[@lonewolfmodels4495]

you should make the Highlander and MacLeod bracelets please.

[@josefernandoalvarezalvarez2351]

Hello..how calculate the total long paracord based on the twist perimeter?

[@1985tariqahmad]

Can it be done with multi cord meaning half black and half white

[@joelstrachan8788]

I might have missed it in the video, but how many feet did you use and what was the final over all length?

[@ronroxyoursox]

Joel Strachan he started with 20' and had 4' leftover, plus trimmings so probably 15' total

[@ronroxyoursox]

Joel Strachan he started with 20' and had 4' leftover, plus trimmings so probably 15' total

[@howmovie3079]

[@eliasbrito788]

[@MsLiaStyle]

[@renelauzon1068]

[@notmax5084]

Can you make this braclet without a buckle

[@Herodotus3]

Hi There. Which color from your shop is that? Rust? Solar Orange?

[@Herodotus3]

Hi Again. Do you sell that lighter, and which one is it?

[@watchgoose]

you could keep that short end out of the way with a little bit of tape I think.

[@profetionalgaming4280]

You are so Useful my duder

[@mattlieb3317]

Mad max style?

[@marcoroberts9826]

[@glendamendez9213]

[@BobaFett907]

Amazon

[@goulart470]

muito bom

[@justletmelistthese]

I'm doing this with leather cord with no fib.
SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK.

[@ianalderson5133]

My prayers go out yo you

[@amandajinx4463]

Crochet hook works okay. Makes the loops a little looser but more maluble to bend the final product

[@emremirekinci1426]

knitting method is easier than this (since I don't have the needle) also if you heat it up less it won't burn that much and won't get dark

[@timothycombs1982]

shawn iv tried tried tried just cant make this 😢

[@drillsgtlangdon]

"Nick" from ReallyBigMonkey?

[@coffeesloth5385]

Hey, Shawn, is it ok if I download your videos to watch offline for the fun and exciting times the %$^#$%@%$ squirrels chew through my internet cable outside?

[@MaryEBCify]

I made a conquistadore dog collar using this pattern...but I would like to know how much it takes for a 20 inch dog collar...I spliced some 95 cord added some beads and a st benedict "(Tradition holds that it protects from curses, evil and vice, protects against diseases and protects good health. The reverse side of the medal carries the Vade retro satana ('Begone, Satan!')!" Medal! I would like to post a picture, but dont know how to on this.

[@JH-dj8hd]

Oooh I like it !!
