How to make a Monkeyfist key FOB

Looking for a practical way to carry paracord on your everyday gear? In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to tie a Monkeyfist key fob using a simple hand-jig method.

This isn't just a decorative craft—it’s a great way to add a tactical zipper pull to your bug-out bag or a high-grip handle to your keys. It’s one of those essential paracord skills every survivalist and outdoorsman should have in their toolkit.

What you’ll need:

About 5-6 feet of 550 Paracord
A marble or a small ball (optional, for the core)
A lighter to singe the ends
A pair of sharp scissors
Pro-Tip: The trick is all in the tension. Watch the 2:10 mark to see how I tighten the loops—if you pull too hard too early, the whole thing will deform. Take your time on the final pass!
