Does anyone remember skoobies? - March 10th 2010, 04:17 PM

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skoobies-Fas.../dp/B0009NUCU6

They were really popular where I lived in 2004/2005. I never got the hang of them myself but my friend always made me some I just found my old book explaining how to make them, I may give them another go again.

That was the funniest thing in our school was when people started selling them.

People where coming up to me saying oh I'll sell you this for Ł1, when I could just make one myself anyway
Some of the kids bought like 50 when they could just make them...

I remember things like these, but I don't think they were ever called skoobies in the US. Now I'm going to drive myself crazy trying to remember what they're called here! But I remember that when I was in brownies years ago they always did crafts with these things. They put beads on them and then made animals, like Iguanas.

Oh yeah I remember those! I used to make loads, and try and sell them with my cousins. Those were the days!

I make them these days too, but I use sweety strawberry laces. But I never get to the end of making them because I eat them xD

Scoobies are long coloured plastic tubes/strings from which you can make things like bracelets and keyrings.

Example...



I used to love them. I have a huge bag of the strings left, I wish I knew where they were.

Oh yeah. = ] They hit here a few years ago, and last year I got back into them.
I started off doing it circular, but not intentionally; everyone else was doing squares, and I was like 'Oh no, I'm doing it wrong' but then people started admiring me 'cause they couldn't do circular ones.

Yeah, I'm that cool. ; p
