4、.21Explore More .22Glossary .24What Is Weaving?Weaving is the process of creating fabric by lacing together two sets of threads or fibers.The art and practical craft of weaving dates back tens of thousands of years.In ancient times,people wore shirts,skirts,and hats made of grasses that had been wov

5、en together.Before beginning a new woven pattern,the weaver needs two sets of threads as a base.The warp is a set of vertical threads that are held in position,usually over a frame,by tension.The weft is one or more horizontal threads.The weaver laces the weft over and under the warp and packs it do

6、wn so the threads fit closely together and form a fabric.This book introduces you to the art of weaving with three fun projectsa paper mat,a friendship bracelet,and a dreamcatcher.Each project will introduce you to a different way to weave.Lets begin!Weaving with natural materialsWeave It!Level T56P

7、aper Mat WeavingOur first project introduces the basics of weaving with a paper-weaving activity.You can use paper weaving to make placemats,book covers,and colorful designs to hang on a wall.1 Select one pieceof paper,which will be the warp,or foundation,of your project.Carefully fold it in half an

8、d draw a straight line 1”from the long open edge.2 Draw ten to twelve lines from the fold to the straight line you just drew.You may make these lines straight,curved,or a mixture.Be careful to avoid drawing lines too close to the edges of the paper.Also,avoid drawing complicated shapes,as this will

9、make weaving too hard.3 Keeping the paper folded,cut along the lines you drew in step 2.Start at the fold in the paper and stop at the straight line.Do not cut on the straight line.Gently unfold your paper and place it flat on the table with the cuts placed vertically.Materials:9”x 12”construction p

11、re left-handed,start on the left side.Continue weaving over one strip and under the next strip until you reach the far edge.Gently slide this weft strip all the way to the top edge of the warp,stopping at the horizontal line.5 Start weaving a new row with another 1”x 9”strip of paper.Since the previ

12、ous row began with over one,start this row with under one.Continue weaving weft strips,alternating how you start the rows(over one and then under one).Gently slide each weft strip up right next to the previous one.Be especially gentle as you insert the last strip to avoid tearing the paper.6 After y

13、our weaving is finished,use a glue stick to attach the loose edges of the weft strips.Turn over your weaving and glue these edges,too.Congratulationsyouve just finished your first weaving!Weave It!Level T910Weaving a Friendship BraceletOur next project uses your paper-weaving skills to work with thr

14、ead.You can make friendship bracelets with this finger-weaving technique and also use it in dreamcatchers.1 Cut four to six warp threads of embroidery floss,each thread 1 long,as well as one weft thread 4 in length.Line up one end of all the threads even with each other,and tie an overhand knot 3”fr

15、om the end.Materials:Embroidery floss of various colors Round toothpicks Masking tape Small beads,if desiredVariations Try different thicknesses of warps and wefts to create new patterns.Try other kinds of paper,such as wrapping paper or origami paper.Be careful when you handle thin paper to avoid t

16、earing.Cut the weft in curves instead of straight lines.Be sure to insert the weft strips in the same order as how you cut them so they will interlock.Using a different color of paper,cut out a shape,such as a heart or a butterfly,from the center.Cut the weft and warp to highlight the shape you cut

17、out.Paint or draw a picture on a piece of paper,and use it as the warp for a paper-weaving creation.How to Tie an Overhand KnotabWeave It!Level T11122 Tape the“tails”of the knotted end to your work table a few inches from the table edge closest to you.3 Separate the weft thread(the long one)from the

18、 warp threads.Then decide on the order you want for your warp threads.Smooth them out flat and tape them in that order near the edge of the table.4 Insert a toothpick crosswise just under the knotover one warp thread and under the next one.Continue weaving the toothpick over one and under one until

19、you get to the other side.This toothpick will remain in place until you finish your weaving.Tape both ends to the table.5 Use another toothpick to lift up every other warp thread.Lift up the opposite threads from the ones you lifted with the first toothpick.After you weave the toothpick through,lift

20、 it up enough to create a space,or shed,between the warp threads you lifted and the warp threads that are flat on the table.shed234weftwarps6 Feed the weft thread all the way through this space and gently pull it across.Slide the toothpick up and use it to pack the weft tightly against the top of th

22、 Finish the fringe with braiding or with an overhand knot on each piece of embroidery floss.You can also attach decorative beads if you like.tie togetherweave it insquare knotHow to Braid7 Continue lifting up every other warp thread with the toothpick,feeding the weft thread through,and packing it t
