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.
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. 👏
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👏
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!!!!
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)
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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 :(
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.
I feel like the only challenge would be finishing it off since you'd only attach it to one side of the belt buckle. but he likes this pattern for a belt
Just follow this video, start by attaching the paracord to the belt buckle. Then weave the paracord like he does in the video, just instead of attaching the other end to the buckle like at 15:20. Just weave the length you need cut the tag and burn it. When you press the melted end into the belt it will self glue.

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

We love Bored Paracord, learned a ton from him.
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!!

Excelente trabajo!
I love this bracelet! You've explainer it very slow and i want to thank you for that. Thank you very much!!!

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.
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
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
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!
Made my first Conquistador bracelet. Came out so well had my wife wanted one too.
Alan Clifton I've made several so far and I'm gonna try to make a couple belts
Super cool!! We’re having fun making all kinds of bracelets
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
search this on youtube........How to make a paracord fid / lacing needle for about $1.10
"FINALLY!!" Thank You Shawn! I'm on my way to finishing my first Conquistador bracelet. Your tut are the best.

i want to make 4 loop....I have 9in wrist,total paracord for this size,does that also compensate for thickness of bracelet ty
Takes me an hour to make a 8" bracelet
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
you mentioned it is good for guitar straps, also good for belts
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

Sois unos verdaderos artistas. 🤙👊🤯👀
I did a 5 strand 8 inch bracelet. It took about 4 hours to complete.
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
One of my favorite bracelets is when I used 325 paracord
Thank you for all your tutorials. You make everything easy to follow. Hope to see an app for iOS soon. Thank you again.

Can you do a wide gaucho knot bracelet?
Do they have a print book of these knots and weaves?
Where do i get a fid
Love your videos
I'm thinking of using the "Conquistador" loop/braid/stitch for a fone case/pouch.
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

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.
Hi, did you have any idea on why it's call "conquistador"? Thank you.
THANK GOD FOR FAST FORWARD!
Is the cord gutted first?
Nice work, really great videos. Do we get a little discount on eBay store???
Really cool stuff on their.
Where do I buy a fid?
Thank you so much for the video !
Aap ya dhage kahan se Lata ho
You are so Useful my duder
Hello, i live your tuto!! Howard many feet use for this bracelet pelade? (Sorry for my english)!
What size buckle?
So what was the final length of bracelet, and the total cord amount of paracord used.
So how long did it take you to make the conquistador bracelet?
what id
what is the Buckle size and how much paracord for a 8.5 wrist? Thanks
A pair of small straight or curved forceps work much easier then needle nose pliers. because they are smaller and fit tight spaces better.
Forceps won't snag the paracord either.
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?
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
you should make the Highlander and MacLeod bracelets please.
That is so cool
I would like to know how many meters it consumes
Size of the buckle?
Σιγά μην σου πεί...
Η 3/8"...στριμωχτά
Η 5/8"...
Υποθετικά 😀
Κορδόνι? Κατάλαβες πόσο θέλει??

Is it possible to add a shoelace charm to the middle of this bracelet?
Can it be done with multi cord meaning half black and half white
Hi There. Which color from your shop is that? Rust? Solar Orange?
thanks U just finish my, I love it.
keep the vidios coming!
I might have missed it in the video, but how many feet did you use and what was the final over all length?
Joel Strachan he started with 20' and had 4' leftover, plus trimmings so probably 15' total
Joel Strachan he started with 20' and had 4' leftover, plus trimmings so probably 15' total
Oooooooo guitar strap!!! Thats an idea
Probably need about a mile of cord 🤣
Hi Again. Do you sell that lighter, and which one is it?
Hello..how calculate the total long paracord based on the twist perimeter?
Can you make this braclet without a buckle
nice
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 :(
Ancisace haha i had the same, Just pull it trough youre fingers and then it shouldend be as bad anymore
Como se llama la aguja que ocupa para coser
Do one for mad max style.
can you make a sanctified paracord bracelet
you could keep that short end out of the way with a little bit of tape I think.
I just like to know we’re I can find the tools.
Amazon
where are this strips available?
Спасибо классный браслет!!!!
shawn iv tried tried tried just cant make this 😢
Awesome.
Hey Shawn. You never said how much cord you started with.......
at 1:48 he says he's got 20'
PS Hopefully your selling jigs etc to keep the family well fed👍
Mad max style?
The finished product looks like a string of Boston Baked Beans lol
Hi my name is jesus , i love the paracord and am ready for work with paracord... i'm from venezuela , i love your channel
Cool
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
"Nick" from ReallyBigMonkey?
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.
Oooh I like it !!
my fiance wants me to make him a paracord belt, could you do a tutorial?
I feel like the only challenge would be finishing it off since you'd only attach it to one side of the belt buckle. but he likes this pattern for a belt
Just follow this video, start by attaching the paracord to the belt buckle. Then weave the paracord like he does in the video, just instead of attaching the other end to the buckle like at 15:20. Just weave the length you need cut the tag and burn it. When you press the melted end into the belt it will self glue.
that's kind of what I was thinking, thanks!
