I've been making lanyards out of 550 Mil Spec Para Cord for a while now. I've made everything from paddle leashes, to PFD zipper pulls to bracelets, to neck lanyards for coaches. If you see something you'd like or have an idea what you'd like done, email me at jtp506422(at)hotmail.com and I'll let you know if I can do it or have the colors you want. The best seller that I've had thus far are the camera lanyards for point and shoot style cameras. They are light weight, come in the colors you want and strong enough for my (120 pound) daughter to swing on.
