Primary 3-5 have been busy learning how to weave.
We have been learning how to weave. We are hoping to make a basket. Here are the instructions on how to make it:
- We started with a paper plate and cut the bumpy bit off.
- Then you draw a circle in the middle of the plate (a medium sized one).
- After get a ruler make a line with a black pen through the middle, turn the plate and draw another line. You repeat this till you have 8 equal sections.
- Next you get another colour and repeat leaving a 1cm gap between the 2 colours.
- After that you cut the black and other coloured line to the circle. It should leave a little gap.
- Then you get some wool, tape it to the back and then start weaving.
- You go round the plate over and under. Once you get back to the start you miss 2 sections and repeat. Continue till you have made a basket.
