How to braid a lanyard?

I am looking to braid a lanyard out of round leather lace or a small diameter line. I DO NOT want boondoogle, gimp, or any other plastic. This is for an adult made by an adult. Any suggestions would be great. Iv searched the local library and craft stores and the best iv been able to come up with is Hemp jewelery.

In these instructions they tell you to use cotton, doubled, you can use leather instead too: http://guidinguk.freeservers.com/lanyard.html

Cow-whip site, they use paracord, but their instructions on braiding are pretty good:

If that is not enough yet, on these three forums you can get more information.

This one is mostly a collection of links, but the people there will also answer questions:

The forum of the International Guild of Knot Tyers, mostly string and rope people, but many of us tie and braid with everything:

On all three forums you need to be member to ask questions, but that is free.

And one more site, most of the techniques that are used can also be found on this site, so that gives you a different set of instructions:

Specially in ‘knots used’ and ‘braids’ you can find them.

Instructions written for scoubidou and gimp will work too, as the writers of those often used the leather and cord sites and books and copied those instructions.

There are also many books on leatherwork, and string, but weather your library has them depends on where you live and how good your library is.
For leatherwork, look for books by Ron Edwards among others.
