Hi,
The Colligo Marine website has a video of how to make Dyneema soft shackles. They use a "Diamond Knot" over which a loop cinches, so the whole thing is made of one piece of line. It is also possible to splice a loop in one end of a line, and splice the other around a toggle, which while not as strong as a purely dyneema shackle, looks far more nautical. I have no pictures of any to post, however.
Ben
