New Techniques # 4..Paper Weave

2 pieces of paper per card the size you need depends on what you are making..decide what you want your finished weaving to be

Take a single sheet of paper to make the warp. (The warp is the strips that you weave in and out of. The strips you use for the weaving are called the weft.)

Cut slits in your sheet of paper. They can be straight or wiggly it's your choice..You need an even number of slits so that you have an odd number of warp strips....

Paper for the weft..((( If you haven't done this before, you'll probably find it easier to use a colour that's very different to your warp, so that it stands out...))) Cut into strips just a little longer than the width of your warp sheet

Starting at one edge of the warp (it doesn't matter which), slide one of these strips through the first slit, over the warp, through the next slit,and so on, over and under, till you get to the other edge of the paper

Second weft strip, this time push the strip through the first slit so that it goes under the warp, then over and so on, until you reach the other side. It should look start to look like a Checker Board.

Do this this until your warp is full

Glue to card or cut out shape whatever you have in mind for your finished weave
