Star weaving
What you will need:
- two straight sticks about 26-28 cm long
- dowel or sticks from your garden
- wool of different colours
- thick wool for the sticks
- thinner wool for the thin sticks
What to do:
1. First lay your sticks at right angles with matching centres.
2. Then hold two sticks with one hand, lash the sticks tightly with wool making an x on the side facing you and keep going until you have filled the centre of your stick.
3. Turn your your stick over and put a tight knot with the wool in your hand to the end of the wool you started with.
4. With the right side facing you, weave over and under on one stick then over and under the next stick and keep going around the stick. Keep the wool tight and each row close together.
5. When weaving measures about 2.5 cm from the centre of the start, change colours like this.
6. Use as many colours as you like. Experiment by weaving one colour under first then over. Add tassels, buttons or feathers.
