Sarah Swett has loved weaving since the age of eight, when she made magic carpets for her teddy bears. Now a professional tapestry weaver and knitwear designer, she shares the joy of creating beautiful woven items with a new generation of young crafters. In Kids Weaving, Swett shows how to make fifteen fun, inexpensive, colorful projects--including friendship bracelets, a rag doll, a chenille scarf, and funky hand-woven shoelaces. With clear, step-by-step instructions and bright, helpful illustrations, Kids Weaving teaches children how to weave using everything from their hands to cardboard to an easy-to-create loom made from simple plumbing supplies. Throughout the book are fascinating features about weaving around the world and special projects like weaving a hideout from sticks, branches, and wildflowers. The third in STC's Kids Craft series (following Kids' Embroidery and Kids Crochet), this delightful, easy-to-use book brings one of the oldest craft traditions to creative children everywhere.
