Gimp, also known as boondoggle or Scoubidou, 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 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.

Square Knot
 An example of a square knot keychain
 An example of a double square knot keychain Most common knot used in making boondoggle keychains. It uses two strands of gimp. The square knot is made by taking the ends, crossing opposite ends, then taking one of the other ends and going over the first string and going under the second string. To finish, the last end is weaved over the first strand and under the second strand. Image File history File links Howtodogimpsquareknot. ...

A double square knot can be made using four strings, thus doubling the size of the keychain made. Again the process is done by weaving the ends alternately.
Spiral Knot
 An example of a spiral knot keychain The spiral knot can be achieved by completing the actions of a square knot, but instead of crossing the ends straight over, the ends should be crossed diagonally. This causes the colors to spiral up the keychain instead of creating straight lines of color.

Double Spiral Another knot is the double spiral which is the same concept as the spiral knot however the number of string is doubled. The procedure is also the same however the level of difficulty is a lot higher and starting the double spiral is a little harder to handle.
