Dear Vee and Group, Yes, I've worked with boondoggle and made bracelets, lanyards, and belts. I still have a belt somewhere (from when my waist was 24"!) Boondoggle is actually the material used to make these things. It is a thin plastic with a core material like a cotton. It came on spools in many vivid colors. My father taught me and many Scouts, Boy and Girl, how to use it, particularly for braiding. The type of bracelet you are speaking of, Vee, is done on a strip of bendable metal. One color of boondoggle is wrapped closely around the strip from one end to the other. Then different colors are woven, over and under, to design a pattern. Dad, besides being Scoutmaster for Troop 29 and Cubmaster for Pack 29 (now 829) of Youngstown, used to test the boys for their knot tying badge. Memories!! Ellen Colangelo Wilson, NYY
