I do much the same as ImajinPs. But a great trick to add even more fun is to layer your weft (strips). I do this with 3-6th and the effect is awesome. After they weave a pattern 2-3 colors I have them cut the thicker strips to thin ones, straight, curvey, zig zag it doesn't matter. Then all they have to do is slip them right over the first layer of weft. You should be able to slide it because it is going over the top of the strips you wove earlier. You can also slip ones going the same as the warp (vertical) but they will need longer pieces or use two short ones that met under one of the weft pieces. Have fun! I always weave near the end of school it is very calming and relaxing just don't go on for ever when you use yarn. PLUS if you ask your students to bring a styrofoam meat tray make sure they know what you mean, I told a funny story about that earlier this year on this site. ;0) On 5/12/08, ImajinPs wrote: > My earlier post got sent to review, too. > > I start paper weaving with first graders.
