Paper Weaving


Bright Border

The very colorful border for yesterday's blog is a bit of woven construction paper.

I found the idea for this project in a book from the public library: "Creative Paper Crafts in Color" by Chester Alkema.

This is a very nice little book full of projects and practical advice for producing the projects for kids and adults--just what the doctor ordered for us.

The bright border above helps show some of the interesting effects which come from weaving varieties of papers together.

The youngest of our workers is seven years old and she got the hang of it quickly and made a couple of very creditable woven sheets in the half-hour or so of the time she had.

We will probably do more of this soon.
