Kids Weaving
Author: Sarah Sweet
Sarah Sweet has loved crafting since the age of eight, when she made magic carpets for her teddy bears. Now, as a professional tapestry weaver, she shares the joy of creating beautiful woven items with a new generation of crafters. In Kids Weaving, the only weaving book written specifically for children, Swell shows how to make 15 fun, inexpensive, colorful projects – including note cards, friendship bracelets, magic carpets, shoelaces, and a west African blanket – many of which can be completed in a single afternoon.
With clear, easy-to-follow instructions and bright, helpful illustrations, Kids Weaving teaches children (and adults too!) how to weave using everything from their hands to cardboard to an easy-to-create, portable loom assembled from ordinary plumbing supplies. Throughout the book are charming photos of boys and gifts happily weaving indoors and out (even in a canoe!) as well as fun features about such diverse subjects as weaving around the world; weaving a hideout from sticks, branches, and wildflowers; and Penelope, the clever weaver from The Odyssey. The third in STC's successful Kids Craft series.
