Answer 1

That 17 strand braid is a bit over the top ;-)

Here is a site with a beginners lanyard:

This site has round braids in bigger numbers:

The tool shown here will help you with some of the harder to make braids, (cardboard copies will work too):

There are more sites where you can ask for help, and get answers from knot tyers and braiders:
