Instructables user keng made this nifty handle for a messenger bag from a piece of paracord and a few simple tools. The technique is called the Portuguese Sinnet (among other names) and makes for a nice chunky handle. The long length of paracord is good to have with you in case of zombiepocalypse (or, say, a hiking accident), too.
