How to Make a Simple Lanyard

There are many kinds of lanyards you can make like: plastic lanyard patterns, beaded lanyard patterns, gimp lanyard patterns and so on. Here are some helpful tips and guidelines on how you can make a simple lanyard with loops and beads.

Step 1: Push a loop through the end of your hook (you need one of these)

Step 2: Pass another loop through the two ends of the first loop then fold it

in half to make the ends even.

Step 3: Now slide a bead onto the second nylon loop

Step 4: Just keep on adding beads and loops like this over and over until you get somewhere around 27-30 inches in length.

Step 5: Add another loop but this time pass one end of one loop through the other end of

the other loops and pull it up tight.

Step 6: Now just take the last loop you made and pull it through the 3rd loop from the hook end and pull it up nice and tight. You now should have a big loop which you can wear around your neck. This completes your basic lanyard.
