Weaving Loom Purse

Olive is such a crafty 6 year old! She received a weaving loom in her Easter basket and just finished her first project.

I forgot to take a picture of the loom, but it looks something like this.  She loves making patterns and choosing her yarn to weave. After she weaved the correct length, we pulled it off the loom, and she sewed the sides together.  We decided to use the left over yarn threads to make a closure with a button.  She is now working on a little purse for her friend.

Indian Corn Weaving

My girls really enjoyed this weaving craft.

 I cut slits in an oval piece of paper and strips of paper to weave.

 The girls weaved the paper strips, glued them down, and cut off the extra length. The indian corn was a fun project to do. You can also find another cute indian corn idea over at Almost Unschoolers.
