Interested in learning how to create a circle weave using a paper plate? We went LIVE on a Facebook video to demonstrate this project!

Grab supplies around your house to work as we work or view the stream to see how we do it first and get crafty another time.
SUPPLY LIST:
- Paper Plate (the small ones work great!)
- Scissors
- Yarn/String/Fiber/Ribbon (anything that would be fun to weave!)
- Plastic Needle (optional)
OPTIONAL PREP:
The first step we will be doing is cutting 11 slits around the plate (about 1in deep). Since 11 is an odd number, I have a “template” that may help you figure out the position of the slits. DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE

How to Weave Using a Paper Plate
Prep your paper plate by cutting 11 slits into the edge
(use our template to help)Use a piece of string to warp your loom
Use an ‘over, under’ method around each warp string to start the center of your weave
Use different yarns/ribbons/fiber to continue weaving!
(tuck ends under the weaving)
When your plate is full, tuck your end under the weave and tie a string loop onto the back to hang
