Sort of like that. It doubles the width of what a wrist band would be. Once I get it wrapped up, I'll send you a couple pics. It may turn out to be too thin for a comfortable rifle sling... I'll have to see.

I took a couple of pics of the initial prototype of mine as well. I'll get them off the camera tomorrow and post. I think you can get a pretty good idea of how it will look finished. Thanks for the feedback.

After stumbling across this blog, I started making "survival bracelets" out of 550 paracord. Ideally, the real survival bracelets would be a single strand, therefore only one color, like the black one below. But the two color ones are a bit cooler looking and would still give you a good 6 - 8 feet minimum all the way up to almost 20 depending on how it's made.
I started working on a similar design for a rifle sling which I figure would give me between 40 - 100 feet of paracord attached to my rifle just in case, for fishing, shelter, a net, etc. Until I finish the sling design though, I rigged the setup below on my 10/22.
And here are the survival - I can't call them bracelets - bands.
pm'd, thanks man.
Here is a link to a single strand rifle sling. it is from Outdoor Life a couple of years back. http://www.survivaltopics.com/forums/firearms-ammo/5383-how-make-paracord-rifle-sling.html
Also here is a link to a coll paracord site, lots of neat projects http://stormdrane.blogspot.com/
You guys that had me make bands for you, I finished them this evening. I'll ship 'em tomorrow.
Also wheeler, I finished up the rifle sling. It's actually the same pattern as the one survivalstraps.com sells. It may be a tad narrow at 1.25", but it seems comfortable to me. Around 80 feet of cord. Non-adjustable though, my figuring out an adjustable one probably isn't going to happen....
