Question

Okay, I have this craft I really enjoy making but I can't remember the name!!! its this flat stretchy glossy like plastic string-like you use. You start of with two of them and you start braiding like a box like pattern going up. What is this craft called?! Please!

Answer 1

Lanyard

Answer 2

Hi, That particular use is braiding but there are lots of uses for plastic tubing. Once you master the braids you can learn to weave the strands of plastic to make bags, lampshade bases, coasters etc. Tubing can be bought in different sizes; 5ml, 10ml etc. Have a go at something different, you'll get hooked.

Answer 3

Lanyards or boondoggling.

the "plastic string-like " is called gimp.  and you often make lanyards out of them but you can also use most macrame knots with it too.
