English term or phrase: Guatemalan belting
To make this great greeting card, you need the following tools (in addition to the tools in your Sewing Survival Kit, which I tell you about in Chapter 1):
* Four to five inches of 2- to 21⁄2-inch-wide ribbon, trim, or belting (I use Guatemalan belting, which you can usually find at craft and fabric stores)

agree  Claire Chapman: Since they use the "métier de ceinture" (telar de cintura) to weave these belts, I prefer "ceinture." http://www.mayacoeur.org/F7pays_mayas.asp
