Braided Lanyards

I remember making these as a kid, of course that was 15 or so years ago. They were the craze at school and the "thing" to have. I remember making a few of these and them being fun to learn. I also recall making animals, using pony beads and the plastic string. I don't have any of my creations anymore sadly.

What type of plastic do you use & where do you get them? That's so if others would like to try their hand, they would know what to look for
