Little need be said of the color patterns shown on [page 11]. At one end of each we have indicated the positions of the strands on the buckle.
Other Types of Braided Belts
These same directions can be followed for belts with any number of strands looped through a buckle. One of the most effective of these variations can be made with wide gimp. This belt, as made ten strands wide and a yard long calls for a 1¾″ buckle and five weaving strands, 3½ yds. each.
Materials and Supplies
Although there are several qualities of gimp lacing on the market, only the highest grade is fit for use in craft work. The gimp we carry is made to order under our own strict specifications. It is waterproof, and therefore washable. It has unusual tensile strength and will withstand much abuse. The large amount we now sell makes it possible to offer this improved gimp at lower prices.
