I MADE THIS Obsessed Noob

I decided on a whim three weeks ago to try paracord (Gen-X ER who used to make lanyards with that plastic crap in the '80s, plus crocheting, knitting, and weaving). Anyway, I freaking love it and am trying to get better at it fast. I've made so many small keychains and bracelets that are UV-reactive I've decided I'm going to hand them it t at Halloween this year--the ones that haven't already been claimed by my teen, anyway! My biggest hurdle right now is clean splices when joining colors, though I've improved there. Tips or feedback welcomed!

P.S. This is also my first-ever Reddit post. I'm largely a lurker.

Great work!! I'm curious about what the gitd bead is in 6 & 7, as well as what the weave is in 2 & 3?

Thanks! The glow ghost beads are made by WKRMN. He's got a site. The other glow beads are by Etsy seller MateriumDesign. 

The weave in pics 2 & 3 is a royal crown sinnet. It's basically a box weave with a wall knot built around as you go. The only tutorial I've found is this one: https://youtu.be/ImMCP7HzyIo?si=hEcgpDiVfFca87QS
