Survival Bracelet

It isn't easy finding cool crafts for boys.  BUT, we just recently came across this awesome project. 

Emmett has just learned how to make these paracord survival bracelets, which he plans to make as Christmas gifts for family and friends. 

Each inch of bracelet contains approximately one foot of paracord which can be used for "camping, boating, lashings, indoor and outdoor clothes lines, hanging food bags in trees...". 
The color shown here is olive drab, but paracord comes in a vast array of colors.  Here is a sampling of what is available on Amazon.
While you can make keychains, lanyards, or just about anything, there are special buckles for bracelets that also come in many colors. 
Here is a link to a printable of easy instructions so you can make your own.
