24. How do we make a weaving in school?
1. First we start with a loom. We will be using the paper loom we made.
2. Then we take our first weft strip and create an over under pattern.
3. Next we take another weft strip and alternate the under over pattern
4. Lastly, we continue with the weft until the weaving is full.
5. Lastly, we glue ends of weft strips in place along vertical edges of the loom.
