Frequently Asked Questions on Gimp Lanyards
Is it a gimp or lanyard?
Both terms are correct. The word “gimp” refers to the colorful plastic craft lace itself, while “lanyard” usually describes the finished project made from it. Many people use the two words interchangeably when talking about these crafts.
What is a gimp lanyard?
A gimp lanyard is a braided or woven accessory made from flat plastic craft lace. It’s often used to create keychains, bracelets, or decorative straps. These lanyards are popular at summer camps and among DIY crafters because they’re simple, colorful, and fun to make.
Is it boondoggle or gimp?
Both names refer to the same material. “Boondoggle” is a nickname often used in the U.S., while “gimp” is more widely recognized in craft stores. In some places, people also call it “scoubidou.” All three terms describe the same plastic lace used for weaving.
What material is used for gimp lanyards?
Gimp lanyards are made from flexible plastic craft lace. The material is smooth, shiny, and resistant to fraying, which makes it easy to braid and knot. This durable plastic also allows for different finishes like glitter, laser, and glow-in-the-dark.
What is gimp short for?
In the context of crafts, “gimp” is not short for anything—it’s simply the name for the flat plastic lace used to make lanyards. The word has other meanings in different contexts, but in crafting, it always refers to the material used for weaving bracelets and keychains.
