WEAVING

Basically, weaving consists of passingthreads through a series of horizontalthreads, known as the weft, andthrough the vertical threads, known asthe warp. Weaving is one of the mostancient forms of human creativity. Baskets and textiles would not havebeen possible without weavingThere are many different skills involved in weaving. You can startpractising now!1. Procedure:1.

Fold one sheet of paper horizontally.2.

Draw a line about one inch from the openend of the folded paper. This is the limit of cutting.3.

From the fold, make irregular cuts up to theline. Cuts need not be straight. (Theirregular cuts make a more interestingfinished product.) Unfold and lay it flat. Thiswill serve as the "warp" and the "loom."4.

Measure and cut from the second sheet of paper, one-inch wide by nine-inch strips.These will serve as the "weft."5.

Begin by weaving one "weftthread" over one "warp thread"then under the next warp andover the next, etc.
