[@CubanMelanin]

Same! 😂

[@femcymoedd535]

Making key fobs is never a bad thing. I make things like this as 'swag' to put in geocaches. They're cheap and easy to make, and give people a lot of pleasure when they find them.
This was a new stitch for me, so thank you for posting the tutorial.

[@ashleyb4549]

I haven't done these since summer camps, and I'm 32 now. This brings back pure nostalgia. Thank you✨

[@jamilsmommy]

So it’s just a double box braid?

[@leonabanks77]

Do you switch colors?

[@dannieboi7792]

Can I use 6 strands? If so can you show me please

[@jayyhundai3078]

Can you teach us how to make DNA next please

[@kaliapollard9207]

My end ones keep unraveling and I’m only getting a 2X 4 box how do I fix this
I have watched it soo many times, I don’t get how to pull

[@evlynrox]

Personally I use a pencil for my starter box as you can slowly move off and keep shape- plus the shape is already decently compact and should be pulled easier. Remember- my first box is usually almost kind of folded over and doesn’t lie flat until I make the second- also I never do the four and four pull. I do the two top and two bottom- then the two sides and slowly move them closer together

[@NinjaTenK]

Have you tried zip ties to finish

[@robertabarnhart6240]

I once saw a guy making 3D roses out of gimp. Do you know how to do anything like that?

[@TheGimpGallery]

i do not, but i would love to learn!

[@user-sz6kj5fr4l]

I'm trying to a tornado stitch with 8 colors and I'm unsuccessful. Can someone please show me how? Tt

[@kierstensanders9013]

Just out of curiosity, what happens when you don’t keep the colors parallel? Does the stitch not work or does it give a different design?

[@TheGimpGallery]

the stitch does not hold and gets all tangled

[@naseekamyersss]

What are the strings called

[@TheGimpGallery]

the brand is rexlace if that helps!

[@user-pw5du2ck9d]

Do you sell them?😊

[@TheGimpGallery]

@@user-pw5du2ck9d Yes! My Etsy is TheGimpGallery

[@DarkDeathLover101]

Man this makes me feel so dumb. Lol i should have just used the same cokor string as you . Maybe label it ABCD ? Lol omg when i pulled to get the box it does not look like a box and i lost all coordination

[@shaquitasills8204]

I can't get it 😢

[@happygirl864]

Keep trying, you will. 😊 ❤🧡💛✌🏽

[@CheshireRAT1]

This video is helpful but not for me I am bad at everything 😅

[@Kenny-ji4in]

Every time I do this it keeps falling off

[@evlynrox]

Use a pencil- and start by slowly pulling up and down strings first (2 top and 2 bottom) then your side to sides- gently four strings as well

[@evlynrox]

Took me about 5 or six tries to start- as it usually does when I learn a new one- just keep trying methods and ways you are pulling.

[@evlynrox]

Also the first box (the starter) never lies flat for me it’s going to be kind of folded- that’s okay just use a flat surface to lay our strings in correct place and slowly so second box and it will flatten out

5 FEET?!

[@imstillapiece_garbage]

My uncle taught me how tod o this and he remembered everything somehow😭
