Colars, Bracelets, Cuffs and Leashes.
7 years ago
So I finally found a medium of art stuff I enjoy. Paracord! Just starting out I found I have a knack for it and for making interesting things. I have made myself a set of bondage cuffs and collar which have been very comfortable to wear all day and night. When I got to thinking about how to price things ( I plan on selling these at Conventions) I recalled one person that was trying to sell bracelets for 10$ ... And fuck that noise. He had one type of braid with little variety. Again, fuck that noise. Bracelets are 5$ with the complex bracelets only a little more expensive with my standard wide at 7$ even.
I am making Mad Max style cheap bracelets for 2$ or three for five. I will be posting pictures of those soon.
Collars are going to be more expensive obviously. A thinner collar will be 15$ and come with one D ring with extra rings at 3$ each. Generally this will be up to 5 rings though we can be flexable with that. (Just don't ask me to put them all the way around the collar. That would be more of a pain in the ass than would be worth it.
The broader collars will be a base 30$ mainly because of the time it takes to make one (Close to two hours) and there is a faster method with a different look but I do like the braid I use because it keeps all the metal away from the skin.
If you want to purchase a collar and find a different braid than I normally use, show me a link to it's appearance and I can try and replicate it at home then give a price. Prices are based on braid difficulty and time in making. So something like the Conquistador braid takes ... Forever. Where as something like Solomons Dragon only takes a little more effort in handling the extra cord in building. So thus a Conquistador braid would be more expensive than the Solomons Dragon even though they use almost the same amount of cord. Personally the dragon looks much better anyway.
The length of the collar only vaguely matters. Super long collars for fursuits may infer an extra nominal charge. Extra decoration would only be the cost of the decoration plus a token dollar or two.
I am not in this to make money. I mean seriously we are a fandom of visual art. But if you want a unique collar or bracelet or REALLY want to have a set of bondage gear that is fun and functional, this is your chance.

Conquistador is one color that loops over and over through itself for a unique appearance. Very time consuming.
Sabina's collar is a double wide Solomon which is pretty much two bracelets but you cross your inside highlight color every other knot to weave them together.
I like using a knot called Back Road Journey. It takes longer and it's alot more weaving but that is the knot I used for my personal set in my Gallery.
I also like a knot called the Jagged Ladder but it doesn't translate well into making a collar. Good for a bracelet but not for collars and cuffs.
I'm admittedly dumb about paracord knots and such and can't picture these, nor would I know what to look for for example pictures. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28478936/ is this the back road one?
The ladder looks neat for a cuff too, yeah.
