To make a three strand braid we start with the picture on the upper left, and proceed clockwise.
- Move the blue strand from the right to the center, bringing us to the second picture.
- Move the black strand from the left to the center, bringing us to the third picture.
- Move the red strand from the right to the center, bringing us to the fourth picture.
- Move the blue strand from the left to the center, bringing us to the fifth picture.
- Move the black strand from the right to the center, bringing us to the sixth picture.
- Move the red strand from the left to the center, bringing us to the seventh picture which has the strands in the same order as the first.
The sequence of left-to-center, right-to-center, left-to-center, right-to-center repeats until the braider reaches the end of the strands or decides to quit.

This is an easy project that does not take very much time. To start, you will need: a keyring or other ring/fastener, and two strands of gimp (flat, plastic string), each strand about 3-4 feet long.
Fold each strand in half and thread through the ring/fastener. Then begin braiding.
- Step 1: Cross over two strands that are opposite each other (see illustration).
- Step 2: Thread the cross-strands through: "over 1, under 1".
- Step 3: Pull tight
Repeat until the zipper pull or key chain reaches the desired length (4-5 inches).

First, you must learn to do the four strand braid, sometimes called the lanyard braid (not the round or square braid). The way to remember this is "under 2, over 1." Follow the illustration.
To make a hanger cover, just do this braid around the hanger.
4
Follow the instructions for a four-strand braid from requirement 3 above, starting with two 8-9 foot strands folded in half. At the end, start doing a square braid around the first part, forming a loop. This can be adjusted when you are done.
