Hi! Thanks for asking your question; it brought back many happy memories of struggling to make my chubby fingers loop lanyards correctly. :*( Anyway, the trade name used for this sort of plastic lace is "gymp". One can purchase in many colors in bulk here: http://www.ssww.com/store/browse/grp=CMB/sbgrp=LAC/origv=gymp/ All the best -- and happy lanyarding! Cheers, sm

You should be able to find it at large craft store like Michaels or A C Moore. eBay showed some available in large quantities, or http://www.pepperell.com/Rexlace_Boondoggling_Gimpin_Scooby_Doo.htm is a manufacturer. Wikipedia has an interesting entry on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoubidou. Have fun!

I think it was called plastic lacing--one site that sells the lacing is:
http://makingfriends.com

Search for Rexlace Plastic Lace...you can find their online catalog at:
http://www.makingfriends.com/store/merchant.mv?

Here’s another site that looks promising:http://www.guildcraftinc.com/
Search for plastic lacing!

Good luck, and...thanks for the wonderful memories of camp that your question evoked! Sitting around the picnic table making those lanyards (wonder what happened to all of them)--and oh yes, the belts made from leather pieces--fun!

One can of nuts on the shelf in my supermarket has a lid that can be recycled. The next brand over has a lid which cannot.

One market's produce bag is, while another's is not. What is up with this?

I have yet to find a product in a plastic container which is not recyclable that is made in such a way as to not be duplicate-able using plastic that is acceptable at the recycling center. What is going on?

I can't believe it's about money. If you just go to a supermarket and look at the lids on the nut cans you should find one that is while most are not. Mine was on the store brand nuts.

	you took 2 round pieces of card, made 2 holes in the middle, strung yarn through them somehow and then flicked them round in circles a few times until they gained momentum and then pulled in and out to make a whizzing noise. You could also buy ones which lit up or played tunes. Anyone know what I mean?! and better still, how to make them?
