Circular Weaving

The 2nd graders made circular weavings this week.  Some are still finishing up.  They are like the ones we made at the weaving camp I taught.

  2. do you cut off the excess cardboard or just let it show. I never know what to do with the excess. As the weaving goes along all the yarn seems to bunch up. jessica-smartypantsjohnston.blogspot.com

  3. Jessica, Hey! I just leave them on the nice white circles. We tried taking the off before and the yarn does bunch up quite a bit. That's why we add the feathers for some extra pizazz.

  4. Thanks for your great website!! I am a school art volunteer and am always looking for great ideas. I want to do this circular weaving project with 3rd graders. I was wondering…How do you make the hole in the middle. Push a pencil through? How do you get the kids to make the outside slits so evenly spaced? What size plate do you use?

    • I pre-cut the slits for the kids. Use an odd number. Poke the hole in the middle with either a pen or the end of a compass. I just used regular dinner plates. The Chinet plates are thicker and sturdier.
