An old discontinued River Rock keychain lantern that I pulled out of the gadget drawer. I added a leftover scrap of red 0.9mm cord, tied in a doubled Spanish ring knot around the groove of the light body... 
You guys are amazing, what a skill being able to turn a piece of cord, into art. Its inspired me to have a look around for a book or two on knotting. What a great personal touch, as well as a unique look, for your flashlight!

Checkered herringbone knot.
Wow this thread is absolutely awesome! :thumbsup: I can't believe I hadn't found it till now.
Omg your little SW paracord figurines are so cool Essexman. I have to try that someday.
Hey Stormdrane, I really like the simplicity of your lanyard especially paired with that "crown" (or is it diamond? :duh2
One question though, what technique do you use the seal off the end of tithe paracord?? It sooooooo neat and perfect on the orange one.
In general, where do you guys purchase little lanyard accessories? (eg. rings, carabiner clip things, special fobs etc.) -I don't mean the SW ones though
.Thanks

In 'The Ashley Book of Knots' that one is actually called 'the crown and diamond'. I finish the ends of the paracord by pulling out about 1/4" worth of the inner strands, trim those with scissors, pull the outer sheath back down, then a quick heating/melting of each end with my lighter and crimping flat with my hemostats, for already gutted paracord just melt/crimp. If you don't have hemostats, you can use a variety of pliers with toothy grip patterns, or pinch/roll the melted ends with knurled sections of tools or pens...
There's a vast selection of online vendors, distributors, & individuals to source for accessories, plus ebay and amazon, and you may find some things in the buy/sell/trade section of the forums. Some local brick and mortar sporting goods stores, bait & tackle, hardware, Army/Navy surplus, Walmart and craft stores carry useful bits and pieces as well.

With a couple of feet of paracord, I tied a pair of two-strand stopper knots, one before and another after the mandala knot.

Been a while since this one has seen the light of day, buried in a pouch in a gadget drawer. I was checking batteries and resetting the time on watches and clocks (Fall back ~ Daylight Saving Time) and pulled it out for a test. :candle:
