Neon strings you weaved - anyone remember what they are called?

[nannah88]

Hiya,

Its bugging me and my workmates, what were the strings called, made out of nylon (looked like cut up tights) that were usually neon. you could get huge bags of them for not very much money and you weaved them on your fingers to make things like bracelets and necklaces and things like that? Any help would be very much appreciated, so we could go back to doing our jobs instead of searching for these damn things!

Thanks

Hannah

sounds like what we called "friendship strings" but this would have been in the early 90's, as I use to make them with my niece, will look into some more

Can remember that plastic stuff that everyone weaved into keyrings in the 80's (why, I do not know), can.teven remember the name. Only neon stuff I can recall were socks or that silly string in a can

In the 90's all the little girls were making these for each other. it showed you were "Best Friends", sort of a bond thing

Neon Leon

Description
It was a kit that came with various neon-colored plastic items to make jewelry and accessories with. There were long flexible rope-like pieces that you could twist together and bend into necklaces, bracelets, and headbands. They glowed in the dark.

Wow, they were way
