It begins with the elders making simple knots and braids for younger children. Older children watch and learn from them, start practicing on younger children, and eventually learn the traditional designs. This carries on a tradition of bonding between elders and the new generation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Industrial_history_and_use">Industrial history and use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Braid&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Industrial history and use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Early braids had many uses, such as costume decoration, animal <a href="/wiki/Regalia" title="Regalia">regalia</a> (like camel girths), <a href="/wiki/Sword" title="Sword">sword</a> decoration, bowls and hats (from <a href="/wiki/Arecaceae" title="Arecaceae">palm leaves</a>), <a href="/wiki/Lock_(security_device)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lock (security device)">locks</a> (such as those made in Japan to secure precious tea supplies through the use of elaborate knots), and weapons (e.g. slings). </p><p>Materials that are used in braids can vary depending on local materials. For instance, South Americans used the very fine fibers from the wool of <a href="/wiki/Alpaca" title="Alpaca">alpaca</a> and <a href="/wiki/Llama" title="Llama">llama</a>, while North American people made use of <a href="/wiki/Bison" title="Bison">bison</a> fibers.
