Cardboard Weave

How we did it:
Materials List
- cardboard scrap
- yarn
- tape
- stick
- scissors
-
We tried weaving with different tools, but found this stick method to be the easiest for Madeleine to maneuver. We just put the stick in the pencil sharpener to make it a little pointed.
-
Maddie chose her first yarn, and we wound it around the cardboard, and taped it on the back.
-
We cut a length of string, and tied and wound it around the stick, and began the weave.
-
You could use all different sorts of textures...ribbons, twines, yarns...for this one we kept it simple with yarns.
-
Soon she was done, and we cut down the middle on the back, and she tied all the ends together.
-
"What are you going to do with it? You could make it into a bracelet...." I asked her, wondering if we needed to leave on the strings, "Or a rug for your Barbie house..." "I'm going to use it for a washcloth for my baby dolls!" Perfect!
