3D weaving is just that. It is weaving in 3 dimensions by putting a warp on a container from cardboard box to round bottle. Students will learn how to warp their container and then weave using a variety of hand manipulated weaving techniques.

This is an ideal project to use left over yarn on and to recycle one of those small boxes that come in the mail. Students need no weaving experience.

Student supply list:

• Small cardboard box (ie. 6" x 6" x 6")
• heavy fork
• a variety of yarns you would like to use up
• scissors
• notebook and pencil for notes
