Gimp (thread)

Gimp is a type of flat, plastic thread used for making lanyards. Lanyards of this type are usually made by children and camp counselors at summer camps. This lanyar lanyard is made by weaving several pieces of gimp into a three-dimensional design. Gimp is also often used to form animal designs, like dragonflies or penguins which are normally seen on children's backpacks, or many other designs such as flags, hearts and trees.
