    I make these with a longer cord between them for curtain tie-backs. Once you twist them together and they are resting on the curtain, they'll stay put until you untwist then. If you leave the ends out, you can even make tassels and attach them to the cord.

      Now, this doctor been my neurosurgeon for almost 10 years now … I won’t let anyone else touch my spine.l. He saved my life and literally gave me back the ability to walk again… i had my 14th surgery on my spine in February of this year… the Incident in my original post happened in March of this year… Andrew told me that Doc plays with those begleri balls all the time … I asked doc about them and if he still enjoyed them when he came in and after seeing how worn down they were I laughed and told him I would make him a new set…I asked if he had a color preference for the Paracord and he replied, "anything but blue!" I giggled and asked why even though I thought I knew the answer… he says that the comments and snickers about his blue balls just won’t stop… even after 3 years… the man has a wicked sense of humor :) as do I… so, just to be ornery, I said I would make him some pink ones… on my next visit in April, I brought him a set made from the deep red with black vertical stripes 550 cord… I believe it’s called fireman red… I get it at ParacordGalaxy . com (no spaces) …and yes, he loved them…

    damn, i NEED to craft this.
    i recently found out that i have adhd and when i‘m doing something not physically active i start to bite my nails out of boredom. it started when i was eleven years old and as a 32 year old adult it just doesn‘t look good and on top women really don‘t dig it.
    i was always looking for a fidget toy that has a high skill ceiling but which i don‘t have to pay too much visual attention to. i imagine that just by feeling how this moves you can get better at doing certain tricks.
    i always thought about starting to play guitar on the side but to start out on that i have to look up and memorize the chords first to blindly practice them. so having to do the research always kept me from starting with it.
    so i hope crafting this is going to be engaging enough for me. having a toy like that and learning to build a monkey fist on the side would be very helpful for me.
    so, thank you for the tutorial! i‘ll definitly try to build one

And the 4th pair have .45 call bullets as the cores, at a medium length. P.S.- It's just the projectile (bullet). Not the whole round, there is no casing(brass). They were rounds I fired off and retrieved them afterwards. Weighed them, and they still weighed the same. 124 grain for the 9mm, and 230 grain for the .45 ACP. Lol both FMJ RN. Next time gonna use unfired JHP. Lol

    I have only ever tied the monkey fist without filling the center but I find when transitioning from wrapping along one axis to the next (you called it something like 90 degree turn) I make a diagonal across on the first quarter of the first wrap. the subsequent wraps in the same direction hide the crossing section and the wrapping order is reversed (i.e. from pointer finger to middle finger the first time, if starting as you did). This version changes 2 things: the axis-change is closer to invisible on the final monkey fist and the ends exit the fist at the same "corner of the cube", which for other applications could be more in line with personal preferences.
    I guess I will have to try it to see if the ball bearing will make the hidden crossing section of cord show as a bump on the three wraps above it or not.

    Can you use craft Paracord for these? That's what I have for now that's why I ask. I have the kind for crafting bracelets from the craft store because I liked the colors and I can't afford 550 till after Christmas

      Yep, you can use whatever paracord you have on hand. However, polyester paracord might be a bit stiff for this kind of project. But if you have nylon or if the cord you're using is soft and flexible, it should be fine.

    Keep in mind its actually illegal to tie this knot in a lot of states and countries. It used to be tied over a rock or pool ball and used as a flail to assault people. It can be a very deadly weapon. Same reason why brass knuckles are illegal in so many places.
