Very fashionable in the 60s and then again in the 80s, and now lanyards are making a comeback yet again! Lanyards are also known as scoubidous, the name for which comes from an onomatopoeia used by american jazz singers and was popularised by Sacha Distel in his famous song "Des pommes, des poires, et des scoubidous...!"
Consisting of simple weaving of flexible plastic, the basic technique allows you to create multicolored lanyards, straight or twisted, to hook onto a key-ring.
This tutorial demonstrates the basic of lanyard/scoubidou weaving. Try it for yourself!
