Another project I've been working on is weaving plastic bags on a cardboard loom. This started because I was researching projects for my daughter's class. She's in fourth grade which means there's been a focus on Native American this year.We created baskets with pine needles and raffia and I thought that we should also weave with a rug on a loom, cardboard looms are the least expensive way to go. I try to do the projects before I teach so that I could work out the process before I get in front of 24 kids.
I wanted to inject some color to the project by adding what I have laying around. Remember I picked up several boxes of paper clips. I have to admit that I went back to the dollar store and cleaned them up on the paper clips. I need restocking right now.
