First whip: thong, fall, cracker

Instead of sleeping, I made my whip.



Thong is 12-plaited, beginning with a keeper braid. The cords I used were 4 x 2,5m, 4 x 1,5m, 2 x 2m and 2x 1m. That's 22 meters in 6 pieces. One of 3 meter strips was desert brown. It made a nice figure but when the 1 meter part ran out, the rest of it was kind of lonely looking covering only one side. Thong is 130cm long.



The fall is 60cm long single paracord that has a loop in the end. It's been attached the way "How to make whips" suggests. Cracker is 20cm long, made out of single paracord inner strand. I'll replace it with a real cracker when I figure out what to use for one.
