Cut two 4 ft. pieces of plastic craft lace.Tie them on a plastic clip so the
same colors are opposite each other; (fig. A).
Fold strand 1 to opposite side leaving a small loop; (fig. B). Fold strand 3 to opposite
side leaving a small loop. Hold strands in place with one hand.
With your other hand, weave strand 2 over strand 3 and under strand 1. Weave strand 4 over
strand 1 and under strand 3; (fig. C) Pull tightly, stretching the cord slightly to
secure. Continue until you have about a 1" braid. String a pony bead, then your
number or letter beads, then another pony bead. Continue with more box stitches until you
have enough to go all around the film canister. Glue the lanyard braid you have just made
all around the film canister near the top. Tie loose end to ring on clip. Pull tight,
stretching lace to secure.
Add three pony beads to each lace end. Tie off with a double knot and trim.
Decorate the front of the film canister with foamies and gemstones. Paint lid
with a paint marker if desired.
