Added Value from paracord lanyard and Brass Alien Bead!?
I make these for myself, my girl thinks I should make and sell them. If ofcourse evolve overtime and use end cap beads or other shapes and spacers etc. What would one be worth to yall or added value to a knife?!
How would you make them for other folks knives? Or are you talking about custom beads?

To each his own. For me, $0. I would not put this on my knife. But I’ve heard other people say to add up material costs, your time, and then add 50%.

As someone who has done Paracord for nearly two decades, they’re not worth much unless you can tie some really intricate knots, and throw on an expensive bead or two. But please don’t let that dissuade you from trying. Make a few, sell them for a few dollars+shipping. You could find your audience and it could work out really well for you. You never know until you try. This post is a good start to gather some research and see if you believe it’s worth the time and effort/cost.
