Paper Weaving

Paper weaving is a good place to start if you've never tried to weave before.
  1. Fold a piece of paper in half and make cuts from the fold out to about 1" from the edge. Open the paper. This will be your "warp".
     
  2. From another piece of paper cut long narrow strips to weave in and out of the warp.
     
  3. To make your weaving more interesting you can vary the width of the spaces between your warp cuts, or make your warp cuts wavy. You can also vary the width and shape of the strips you weave in. Use several different colors of paper.
     
  4. To finish, glue or staple the strips in place along the edges.

 

Do you have crayons? If so, you can color fun sheep stuff!
