GIMP BRAIDING PROJECTS
_Written and Illustrated by Charles E. White, Jr._
For the convenience of craftsmen, we have assembled in this booklet the
directions for many of the popular gimp projects, with suggestions for a
multitude of patterns which can be made with any desired color
combination. These directions have been completely illustrated in color,
so that every step can readily be understood, since the true simplicity
of braiding has often been obscured by complicated instructions and
illustrations.
The material itself is a special coated tape made in various colors and
shapes. Standard gimp and Titan lacing are flat and 3/32″ wide. The
special ¼″ wide gimp also is flat. Round or cord gimp is available in
either 3/64″ or 5/64″ diameters. These various types of gimp can be
purchased by the yard, though they are much less expensive when secured
by the spool. Leather lacings may be used in place of gimp where
particular effects are desired.
