V. Direction/Steps
1. Cut a piece of construction paper or any colored paper into a square.
2. Fold the square in half.
3. Cut evenly-spaced slits starting from the folded edge and continuing up to about
a half inch from the opposite edge. It may be helpful to draw vertical lines to use
as guides while you cut.
4. Open up the paper.
5. Cut colored paper strips. The strips should be longer than the length of your
square's side.
6. Take one paper strip and weave it horizontally across the slits, going over and
under the slits.
7. Push the woven strip to the top and start with another one. The second strip
should be woven in an opposite pattern as the first. If your first paper strip goes
over and under across the slits, the second strip should go under and over the
slits.
8. Weave more paper strips in an alternating pattern until your paper weave is full.
9. Flip the whole square weave. Apply glue at the ends of each paper strip.
10.Fold the excess length of each strip inwards and press to glue them in place.
11.Flip the square weave again so that the folded ends are concealed at the
bottom.
12.Cut a larger piece of construction paper or craft foam to frame your paper
weave. You can use a pair of craft scissors to create a more interesting border.
13.Glue your paper weave on top of the frame. Decorate the frame with any or a
combination of these materials: glitter glue, puffy paint, sequins, beads, small
craft foam shapes, stickers, buttons or other decorative materials.(Optional)
