Yes, it is plastic and they make key chains out of it.  Going back years it
had a tougher feel to it and it was not as plastic feeling.  It wasknot as
slippery.

I use to go up to the play ground every day during the summer and work on
these all day long.  I won a few crafting contests in town with my Gimpe
work.

I drove them all crazy by adding more strands then the usual 4.  I remember
the 12 strand corkscrew, that took a prize.

Joyce one.

Is gimp that roll of plastic sort of lace stuff?

We up at Girl Scout Camp used gimp , but that is perfect thickness, width,
but it is slippery to tie a knot in it at the end of the project.  At least
with the ribbon you can add a little tacky glue to secure it.

Joyce,

Another thing I have is some clear (actually glow in the dark by accident)
of plastic lace I think it may be called. That may work too. I'm gonna try
it. But, thanks for the tips. I was just wondering if there was something
better or what folks normally use.

Greg,

I have gotten the beads for the kits I am selling.  I had ordered narrow
grosgrain ribbon, but it is too thick and I have used other things, but it
does show on the outer edge of each row, so color is a consideration.

The hole in the beads are 4 mm  so you nead something thinner then 1/4'
wide.  They do have grosgraine ribbon out there 1/8" wide, but not a large
color choice.  I have several more pony bead classes planned for September &
October and I will be looking for 1/4" ribbon grosgrain, but not sure if
that will work well.  I was hoping to find the grosgrain as that has a
little more thickness to push through the beads.

If all else fails I will use my stand by curling ribbon and advise folks to
get and use #16 blundt tip needle[plastic canvas needles]  This ribbon will
fit in the eye of this needle.

If you plan on making a few of these progects you can pick the ribbon up at
a card shop in any color you can imagine.  Be sure to get the I think it is
3/16"  size.  You can find this ribbon in large cones, too.

Joyce

What is a good material for general pony bead projects? I know that you can
use ribbon for example, but I want something that will work for a lot of
projects and not have a rainbow of colors or do I really need that?
