Default Paracord wrap
Well got bored today, paracord wrapped my steering wheel. Took about 105 feet to do. Love how it feels now but my fingers hurt from pulling the cord tight :(

That's not boredom; that's commitment!

How many hours did you kill w/that little project?

Gotta admit it looks good, though.

how to is easy enough, youtube: paracord cobra knot and there are tons of videos. extremely easy, I recommend a good pair of gloves, I usually use a pair of mechanics gloves I have but they are covered in used oil right now so basically worthless.....Id say it took me like 3 hours to do. Not terribly long

Where did you get the para chord? I have been looking everywhere for it. I want to make cobra knot zipper pulls for soft top.

You can buy it in spools of 1000' from places like CheaperThanDirt.com

They have a few different color choices.
