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!

...or sometimes just plastic lacing.  Most online craft stores carry it.

"Plastic Lacing"

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!
