\"How<\/p>\n

Have you ever tried weaving? It’s a craft I haven’t really explored in depth but occasionally I like to experiment with new ideas and techniques. I was lucky enough to attend a weaving workshop a little while ago which taught me some basic tapestry weaving skills – read about it here<\/a> – and since then I’ve had a few ideas for some experimental weaving projects.<\/p>\n

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be a fun challenge to try and weave a heart shape. I honestly didn’t know if it would turn out successfully, but I think I can chalk this up as a win.<\/p>\n

This little\u00a0 woven heart tapestry requires no special equipment, in fact I made a loom out of a paper plate. Next time I may try making a loom with stiffer cardboard as the paper plate was a bit bendy, but you can use whatever you have handy, that’s the beauty of this project.<\/p>\n

Now that the heart shaped weave was a hit, I may have a go at some other shapes too.<\/p>\n

I’d love you to give this project a try, it’s really easy once you get going and would be a great craft for older kids to try.<\/p>\n
