Originally used by paratroopers as suspension lines for their parachutes during World War II, paracords are now made into bracelets and worn as a fashion accessory, which can turn from fashionable to useful in an instant. In this class, you will learn to make a bracelet and how to take it apart, use it, and put it back together again. Then, just for fun, you will also learn how to turn a t-shirt into a bracelet. Students need to bring their own scissors to class. Course taught by Kim Victor.
