Gimp keychains were life.

[Lilith_sRevenge]

I was that girl that had to help everyone. The pleasure was all mine

[stevenwatts]

wow, that was a flashback that i didnt expect. lol "can you help me start it?" these things were ALL OVER THE PLACE. lol

[mickifinn]

You're welcome, also don't forget the twisting and double of triple squares.

[stefanmarchione]

Don't forget about the braided "friendship" bracelets, all multicolored with the hanging fringe tassels, LOL! Mine were all day-glow neon colors, a la the "80's" 😁 God, what beautiful times we had...we didn't know it at the time 😌

Summer camp, 1965 making lanyards. Nothing new.

[BlueishBuddy]

I was born 2010 and I still make these to this day. I’m making one rn actually

[mattsheng]

I’m a Gen Z and in my Arts and Crafts Club we’re learning to make gimps and I’m just rushing around trying to help my clubmates 😭

[Crimsy]

It’s Gimp! We made bracelets from this stuff!

[charlesschmidt]

You're welcome. My wife's niece wanted to do this and no one in her family knew how to start them. So I saved the day.

[halliekrost]

Your welcome, I know my years of service were appreciated

[dusty]

the 90's??? I made mine in 1966...AND I STILL HAVE IT...a little bit of the plastic is missing and the rest is quite frail!

Involve me I will learn"
Benjamin Franklin

Oh my gosh I've seen four of your videos today and each one reminds me of my teaching years in the '90s.

You reminded me of something I forgot:

Teaching n the 90s, Pomona California, I bought rolls of this from the Boy Scouts... ROLLS ... and taught my 5th grade LA students, 97-99, allowing students to create in class...ran out eventually 😮

Art 🎨 Class
Making Lanyards

Not many students in Pomona went to summer camp. Very rare in Pomona🌴 LA County 🌴

Those '90s years were the best of my career, at Lexington Elementary

Thank you for making me smile and remember so many good things today

Find something you love to do and teach it to another
Teamwork 🎉 Group Work 💎

Always good fun 🎉

God bless you

Box stitch, butterfly stitch, and spiral stitch. I did that every summer. Loved it

[Catapultout]

You’re welcome. I could start the big versions too. The kinds with more than 2 colors. 2 x 3 colors done in a spiral were my jam.

Why can I smell and taste this picture???😂😂😂😂

[carolynandthecats]

Tara, I absolutely love your hair! You're so very beautiful!!!!

[momhdksbyeisn]

I was born in 2006, and I made something similar. We live in Sudan in a simple village, so these are fun and funny things to make with friends and family. This custom exists to this day.

[Alexis-lnhp]

I made a lot of those GIMP chains in the 80s.

[davidverlaney]

I think we did that in 70s too when I was a kid at camp.

[cindyd.]

I made these in the 70’s at day camp!😂
