 NEW MINI STORE PAGES FROM Chadis Crafts' for Teens and Adult Braiding Books and Supplies        |
BRAIDING & KNOTS:
Another hot craft is weaving hemp either natural or colored,
thick or thin into bracelets, necks and key chains. Many children like to weave beads into their designs.

supplies?

Check this store out.
Also great Braiding and
knotting lessons:

Bracelet.

Has some great diagrams and patterns.
This site is for knots for ropes but some of the knots can be used with other materials.

They have an incredible web page with free projects and downloads.
Many using knots and threads. Friendship bracelets, ankle bracelets, zipper pulls and more.
Animated Knots for Scouts. Is a good tool for anyone learning basic knots.
Pepperell.com's hints.
Jewish Knots and Braiding Projects
Many
Jewish Camps, Schools, Scouts etc. teach how to braid hemp or gymp.
My son's
Sunday school made their own Tallit!
This tallit was to be used in prayers
before Sunday school. (so really informal)
The choices for material were very
unique.
I have since seen great material at Judaica 1-800-Dreidel.com and kits at
Artkitsetc.com.
See my Make your own
tallit page for more links for supplies and knotting directions.
I highly recommend this project but if you are not ready for this
yet, how about learning to tie the tallis/tallit strings as a great heritage
project instead of just playing around?
Artkitsetc has strings and directions in
an inexpensive kit form.
Many Sisterhoods, Temples etc are having classes on making your own tallit.
If you need guidance check out the companies for kits and directions on my Jewish resource page.
GIMP, Gymp, Plastic Lacing,
Lanyard, Boondoggling:
Margo of Beadie Critter Fame reminded me to include one of my personal old favorites of gymp/lanyard.
Before the craze for
hemp braiding there was lanyard or gimp.
An old favorite for camps and scouts
that is now hot again thanks to the many new books available at craft stores
showing how to add beads, make animals and weaving into other projects.
My campers especially liked the new Mega gymp available at many craft
stores.
Extra wide and easier for some to
use.
It comes in great glow in the dark colors and with patterns.
Although the
patterns are on one side and therefore show up in unexpected colors from the
back side of the gymp.
I have had a few people tell me they have had trouble finding supplies on line and no stores near by see new updated links below.
I used a lot of my thin gymp (regular gymp compared to Mega
gymp) on in beadie animal projects.
It is easier for many children
to use.
I describe on my beadie page that wide beadie animals will bend with
gymp.
I have since then received a suggestion from Tessa Moulyn of Canada
that
she steams her projects using a warm iron and a damp cloth. Sounds great!
Thanks Tessa.
This site has ALL of the basic directions plus some updated projects.
Includes diagrams.
BOONDOGGLING = GYMP
He has great information. Plus:
Supply Sources with lessons on each site.
Has some projects for gymp, wire and more.
I especially like their TOOLS for braiding,wire, gymp and more. The Weave Wheel to start gymp/braids is great.
The makers of many of the gymp/plastic lacing/lanyards we all grew up with. It has other products like: candle wicks, macrame cords and kits, hemp, knitting spool and mini weaving frames. Would you believe they also sell aluminum chair frames you can braid/weave seats for?
Pepperell recommends or has sister websites.
They
confuse me on which is which but check them out. Stretch Magic, Rexlace, Senior
craft kits, Shoe box kits, Add - a - Charms, SoftGlass - Jewelry Tubing, Bulk
Craft Kits and more .
