[Nfb-krafters-korner] looking for new classes

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Gimp is about as thick as three ply yarn but made of hard plastic, but flexible.  It comes in many colors.  Kids used to make bracelets out of it, when I was young.  They used either knots or twisting to weave it together.  I think it was knots.

Terry,
Not sure what gimp is...maybe it is the same.  I'll go to the internet and check.  From what I can tell, it is different, yet similar.  Plastic lace is flat, about 1/8 inch wide and comes in many colors.

What in the world is plastic lace.  Are you sure it was not gimp?

Carol and Joyce,
Knots are used to make lanyards, key chains, zipper pulls and ceiling fan pulls. I have seen this done with plastic lace and it is fairly cheap.

Carol,
 
Did you make something with the knots?  What type of material did you  use to make the knots? rope?  cord?
 
Depending on what you use there are all types of things you can make with knots.  A lot of the friendship bracelets use different knots to create them.
 
I would love to have you do this class.
Joyce
