Parachute cord is an awesome rope that has many uses! This tutorial will teach you how to braid a four strand dog leash using parachute cord.

Getting Started

Paracord will shrink when it gets wet, so you before you start to braid your leash, the paracord MUST be preshrunk. You will do this by soaking the paracord in hot water for five minutes and then hanging it to dry. You can speed up the drying process by putting the wet paracord in a pillowcase, knotting it closed, and placing it in the dryer.

We will be making a five foot leash, with a five inch allowance for a handle loop. To determine how much paracord that you will need, break down the length of your project into inches and multiply by four. 65″ X 4 = 260″ so I will need 2 separate paracord strands that are EACH 260″ long.

Tools You will Need

These tools are essential when braiding with paracord. You will need two hemostat clamps, a C-clamp, scissors, a small flexible measuring tape and a wood burning tool.

STEP 1 - Arranging The Cords

 Take the C-clamp to fasten the snap to the table top so that my work stays steady. You can also just use a scrap of paracord and tie the snap to a table leg, stair railing or anything else that is stable. However, using this method will make your work twist about and can be frustrating for the beginner. Now, lay the two pieces of the paracord side by side, over the ring of the snap. The two strands on the left side of the ring will be called A and B, with A being the cord at the front and B the cord at the back. The two strands on the right side of the ring will be called C and D, with C being the cord at the front and D the cord at the back.

STEP 2 - Braiding Move One

Grasp the cords in both hands, placing a good, light tension on all the strands. Cross D over C. A goes to the outside left and B to the outside right.

STEP 3 - Braiding Move Two

Take A and cross behind C and then cross over D.

STEP 4 - Braiding Move Three

Cross B behind the braid and then cross over A. The NEXT step  will be to cross C behind the braid and then cross over B. You will always be adding to the braid with the strand of paracord that is on top of all the other strands. Continue braiding until you have 65″ or finished braid. Use your flexible measuring tape, measuring from the beginning of the snap to the end of the finished braid.

STEP 5 - Clamping Off The Braid

Use one of your hemostat clamps to clamp off the end of your cord. It is important to NOT clamp off B.  This is the next cord to be braided and is very important in the next step.

STEP 6 - Measuring The Braid For The Handle Loop

From the END of the braid, measure five inches and fold the cord over. Examine the braid to see where a B strand crosses the braid, and poke your other hemostat clamp under it. Open the hemostat, grip the B cord and clamp the hemostat closed. Now you will pull the B cord all the way through the braid.

STEP 7 - Back Braid Move Two

You can now remove the hemostat clamp that secures the end of the braid. Locate the D strand that crosses through the braid that is closest to B. Poke the hemostat through, grip the loose D cord, clamp the hemostat and pull D all the way through.

STEP 8 - Back Braid Move Three

Locate the C strand that passes through the braid and repeat step 7.

STEP 9 - Back Braid Move Four

The final step is to locate where the A strand passes through the braid and repeat step 7.

STEP 10 - Finishing The Back Braid

Now that you have shaped a handle, it has to be stabilized by further back braiding. Keep repeating steps six to nine, three or four more times to create a sturdy back braid.

STEP 11 - Finishing The Handle Loop End

Now that you have completed your back braid, you need to properly finish the ends. Take your scissors and cut the cords close to the braid. Now is the time to plug in your wood burning tool and allow a few minutes to let it heat up. The wood burner usually takes three to five minutes to get hot enough to melt the paracord. To properly melt the cord, gently run the wood burner over the cut cord in a sweeping motion. To make your leash look good, melt the cord against the same coloured cord that is directly below it. Before you switch colours, quickly swipe the tip of the wood burner over a damp cloth to clean it. Do this carefully since the tip gets very hot!

As soon as the melted cord ends have cooled down, your leash is ready to go! Happy dog walking!!

Learn the Right Step by Step Method on How to Put on Make Up

In for a little beauty tip? Your procedure on how to put on make-up is equally important to your final makeup itself.

It is then advisable that you apply make-up in the right sequence for you to achieve the desired effect.

Knowing the right method on how to apply makeup may sometimes be somewhat tricky, but can be enjoy it as well.

How to Put on Makeup

Here is a step by step procedure for putting on makeup properly.

First you need to begin with a clean face before putting anything onto it. Wash your face with a good cleanser and put on a good moisturizer and sunscreen afterwards. After this, you can start applying a makeup underbase to prepare your face for the make-up.

If you have pimples or dark circles that you need to cover up, apply concealer before putting on your foundation. A good concealer is slightly lighter than your regular skin tone.

The most important part that makes a good makeup is putting on the most compatible shade of foundation that matches your skin tone very closely.

The simple act of putting on foundation can immensely beautify your look. A simple foundation has the power to even out your skin color and make skin imperfections less obvious. Remember to blend your foundation well at the jaw line to prevent that fake looking division.

Apply a thin layer of powder over your foundation to create a clean "set". It can also keep your face fresh looking even towards the day's end.

After your face, work on on your eyes next. Fill in your eyebrows with a good eyeliner pencil to create a perfect arch.

Then, apply an eyeshadow that matches with your eye color and skin tone then blend the colors properly.

Line your lower lids very carefully and thinly beginning from the outer corner of your eye inwards. Curl your eyelashes and apply a thickening mascara.

Next apply a natural colored cheek color onto the apples of your cheek. The best blush color is the one that is closest to your how your cheek looks like when you blush.

Protect your lips by applying a good layer of your reliable lip balm. Using a lipliner, line your lips beginning with the outer corner of the lower lip going inwards.

Then, apply a good colored lipstick or lipgloss that matches well with your entire appearance. Use a good lip brush or even with just your fingers to blend the liner with your lipstick or lipgloss color. Finish with your lips by gently clamping with soft tissue.

Finally, check your look by looking into a mirror under natural light to see if everything blends well.

Using a valve spring compressor?

I need to know how to use a valve spring compressor, the type that looks like a c-clamp. I understand the "fork" side goes on top of the spring and the circular side goes on the valve to push and hold. There are also two little scoop things in the middle of the fork that i don't know what they are used for. If i can get a step by step instruction, you will get the best answer

the scoop thing goes on the retainer or (the part that holds the spring in place) first there should be an adjustment on top of the tool where the fork is...put the compressor on the retainer..and adjust the screws until it fits tight on the retainer....then will have to adjust the bottom of the compressor where the handle is so that when you close the handle it pushes down the spring far enough to get the two keepers (two little half moon clips that hold the valve into the retainer....but first before you do anything...u must wear safety glasses if a keeper shoots out of there it may hit u in the face......after you put your glasses on and before you use the compressor take a hammer and hit the top of the retainer that u want to remove...DO NOT HIT THE TOP OF THE VALVE...it will damage the valve and you may end up needing a new one...hitting the retainer loosens the keepers so it will be easy to remove them....when you collapse the handle you can see the keepers in the retainer ..it may be help full to pull them out with a magnet..then slowly release the compassion with the handle and your done....this is hard to do at first and will require some practice to get good at it...be careful u can get hurt using this tool...i have been doing this for 30+ years so i have first hand exp. on both areas good luck
