or enter "boondoggle" in your search engine (this is what I grew up calling it rather than gimp which is what is used to do this craft). you should come up with a searchleading you to "boondoggle man"

again, if you select the cmyk option you will get the effect more like your picture above.

have fun :)

Are you looking for instructions on using the plastic lacing used for making lanyards, keys chains, etc? That is also called gimp (although gimp is also a type of thread used to make jewerly). If this is what you are looking for reply back and let me know, if not, I'm sorry if I misunderstood your question. Different people call things by different names and it can lead to confusion. lol
