Mini-Paracord Jagermeister Bottle Holder



I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard that old saying, “Busy hands, busy minds?”  It is exactly what it says.  When you are busy doing something, your mind shifts to that little project.  There can be the joy of thinking of making something, digging around for the supplies and sitting there at any time and just getting to work.  I kind of envy those people who can sit and read fiction books, but I stick to the non-fiction and make things.  Either way, it can be an escape from the news of the day which as you know, isn’t always positive.  So we have to think positive and stay positive.  It’s a good idea to protect the temple and I’ll consider that my mind and body.

I don’t drink Jager, but I know people who do.  I usually don’t collect too much, but I do wash and keep some little bottles here and there that I might use for a fun project like this.  The bottle here is one of those tiny sample sizes.

I used an OD green US made micro paracord which is basically a 2mm cord.  It does have an inner strand which gives it that little bit of extra strength.  The bottle holder has approximately 30” of cord in it that can be used in an emergency or survival situation.  You never know when you may need extra cordage, so I like to keep extra items such as this in my backpack or tool box.

You can unknot or cut the drawstring holder and pull that out, then find the red marked cord.  That is the cord you will pull up and out.  Once you pull that slip knot out, you can rapidly deploy the entire or part of the bottle holder.  You can use this cord for so many things.

I’ve made bottle holders like this in the 550 paracord for Nalgene bottles.  Though these are a lot smaller, they are a little more challenging to make because they are so tiny.  Hope you enjoy the photos!  #microparacord #paracordbottleholder #koozie #jager #jagermeister #outdoorsman #survivalgear #paracordart #wearartbyjulie.etsy.com

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
