Paracord Critters: Animal Shaped Knots and Ties

I bought this for my son . He likes making more creatures. The only think I would do different is have it more step by step in the book with pictures and words . Other than that this is a good book

I love it, it's my newest treasure. The photo's are so beautiful and there sure are enough steps with clear photo's and a precise explanation.As a foreigner I had to get used to the knot terms, but they all are in his "Twist & Terms" chapter, also very clear and right to the point, I got easily accustomed with them. :-)It also fits in my _okay, big_ purse, and some critters are great to use your scraps too, even T-shirt-yarn scraps :-D (with the T-yarn I had to change the head of the bumblebee, since cotton can't be singed, and glue in my purse is not an option: sewing back the ends of a two ends diamond knot makes the knot undone, but a one end diamond knot around an overhand knot of the other end works great) :-)O, and also be prepared to miss your book every now and then: people around you love to look at the beautiful pictures ;-)

IMHO, you have to have quite the imagination to actually figure out what the critter is without looking at the name.It is truly best for children who love to do crafts. If you ADORE every one of the creatures on the front, by all means, buy the book, but my BF only liked one of the critters well enough to make it. It was a gift that bombed (let me restate that, it was a REQUESTED gift that bombed, but was for an adult)- and the best critters are on the cover for sure. I would not know the turtle WAS a turtle had they not placed it in the sand with some Jelly Belly eggs! The dragonfly was the only one I personally liked. Do YOU know what the bottom middle picture is of? I didn't!! BTW- it is a jellyfish...

I really liked how easy the directions are to follow. The animals are fun to make.

Pictures help, but those are not great, either

VERY helpful step by step pictures that go along with the instructionswish more paracord books were like this oneBUT, I also there were some other projects than a "rock crab" that basically looks a kettle ball weight :o)

This is another fantastic book from TIAT.After watching JD's videos on YouTube, I work on all the projects with my daughters. We really enjoyed getting to make all the little creatures.

This is an easy to understand guide with pictures.

Great book

Muy buen libro, buenas explicaciones, maravillosas imágenes paso a paso, explicaciones y detalles. El autor da una excelente introducciòn como en cada uno de sus libros, explica de manera excelente el proceso y da referencias a otras páginas para una mejor guía

C'était très simple pour effectuer le retour et rapide. Livre très bien imagé et simple pour débutant !

Tiene buen detalle de pasos para realizar cada animalito y son proyectos muy originales, fuera de lo común.

good stuff
