Now they've re-surfaced [plastic tubes that you knot to make dangly things for keyrings etc] any good sites for the various styles you can do?  Vaguely recall we made 8 sided ones & hung them off our triang scooter handles

My daughter came back from school with 2 bits and has started to "plait" them!  I don't remember them at all (when were they first out??)  but have seen in local toy shops with instructions about what to do.

Well I first saw them about 40 years ago, but then my mum who is in her eighties, remembered doing similar things with bits of string and ribbon
