Whether you call it gimp, lanyard, scoubidou, or boondoggle, vinyl craft
lace is the perfect activity for home, camp, school or party. And
Plastic Lace Crafts for Beginners is the perfect way to get started in
this easy-to-learn craft. This book shows readers all of the essential
stitches and skills they need to master the art of plastic lacing, with
easy-to-follow weaving diagrams and colorful photos of finished
projects. 17 simple but fun projects are provided for making cool zipper
pulls, key chains, bracelets, decorations and more. Every braid is
clearly illustrated, so instructions are a cinch to follow. The projects
include imaginative columns, fishtails, ankhs, hearts, and free flow
designs, and use fun accents like beads and pom poms. The authors begin
by teaching the fundamental 4-strand technique, then move on to more
complicated 6-strand designs.
