does anyone no where the cheapest place to buy scoobie strings is?

[magicdice]

loving your choice of category here, it cracked me up

try pound shops & places like that. newsagents may do them too but don't pay more than �1.50 for a big pack

What are scoobie strings ?

[magicdice]

they're plastic strings ("rexlace") basically, called scoubidous. this time round all the 14 & 15 year olds are doing them. you can plait & braid them into various things, like friendship bracelets and keyrings. http://lartdesscoubidous.nuxit.net/ is a site that shows you some pictures & explains it (in french, sorry). about 10 years ago they were in, but it was 7 & 8 year olds who dominated the craze. my mum remembers them from about 35 years ago, too...

me too!! I had scoobidoos when your mum did. I am 51 now and had them in primary school so that makes it nearer 45 years than 35. Sorry, Magicdice's Mum!!) You can also do scoobidoo with ordinary string or even thick knitting wool and there is a related knot used in macrame called flat sennit or flat bosun, the round version is called rolling sennit. If you kids want to show off, google on "macrame" there are loads of websites with different fancy knots and they are really easy!!

All the pound shops do them now for much less than the web.

[groovermover]
