[Nfb-krafters-korner] Can anyone help with the correct name for this craft?

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi,
I took a piece of oxygen tubing and large needles and it was pretty 
neat.  I thought it would make a grat swimming bag.  Maybe even line 
it with a thin material.  But it was tough on the hands.

Seperating hielos tubing might be easier.
