Thank you all for your appreciation about this work.
I'm really honored that my idea has become an inspiration for the others.
This is for me the first time that this happens.

Thanks for idea Gio ! I saw you keyfobs and came up with idea making a nylon one, as I haven't seen Indy keyfob from paracord. I was bored during weekend, so I thought I would make my version of Indy keyfob. One hour of work and voila

If anybody wants to make similiar, here is how -
10cm of 10mm steel tube, keyring or something like that, less than 5m of paracord (I haven't measured the length I had used, I just used pieces of paracord lying around.
Fold two 60cm lengths of paracord in half, put keyring in half of those lengths, put them through the tube and fold again - they will be used to plait the checkerboard. So you have 4 strands and you need 8 more. Use 4 40cm lengths folded in half, attach them to those 4 with tape or thread and start plaiting the checkerboard. When you reach the end of tube, use tape to hold the both ends of plaiting in place. Plait 4 strand wrist loop, and attach it to tube using staples and tape, you can also make 5 or 6 strand "wrist loop" to cover bottom of tube, between main wrist loop. Use some thread to build base for knot. Make knots and voila!

Feel free to ask
