Weaving

Please note this project may take 2-3 days to complete depending on the size of the weave you are trying to create.

To start this project you will need a square piece of cardboard with notches about a half inch deep along the top and bottom for as many pieces of yarn that you plan to use.  For the initial yarn you need to loop it around the slits top to bottom.  Then choose a different color of yarn to start weaving with.  Cut a long length of yarn and attach one end to the end of a tongue depressor with masking tape.  Tie the other end to the first string along the bottom.

Using the tongue depressor, weave the yarn in and out and pull tight pushing the line of yarn all the way to the bottom. Continue this step until you are ready to change colors.

You will need to tie off the yarn to the last string when done with it.  To change colors, prepare another tongue depressor with your new color of yarn and tie to the first string again. Begin weaving the new yarn through as you did in the first step.

Continue weaving the yarn in and out with the colors that you want to create any pattern that you want until you reach the end.

The finished product stays on the cardboard
