The paracord jig is an often overlooked tool. It really helps you out when you need it most, which is when you need both hands. Too many times, I’ve taped my bracelet to the table only to have the tape come undone or used a makeshift jig only to have it break.

If you think a jig is only for beginners, that’s not entirely true. Not only are they very helpful for beginners working on the cobra weave, but they’re also great for other crafting levels with weaves that don’t stay knotted as the cobra does. For instance, the Fishtail and Trilobite are weaves that don’t stay tight, so it’s nice to have both hands free to weave, push up, and tighten.
When it comes to larger projects, the paracord jig truly shines. Whether you’re crafting a monkey fist, a dog collar, or a gun sling, the jig’s efficiency becomes evident. It not only streamlines the process but also ensures that your paracord stays in place, allowing you to create your project accurately and efficiently the first time.
