Kids Weaving

Více o knize

Sarah Swett has loved weaving since she was eight, when she crafted magic carpets for her teddy bears. Now a professional tapestry weaver and knitwear designer, she shares her passion with a new generation of young crafters. This unique book for children features 15 fun, inexpensive, and colorful projects, including friendship bracelets, a rag doll, a fashionable chenille scarf, magic carpets, and funky hand-woven shoelaces, many of which can be completed in an afternoon. With clear, step-by-step instructions and bright illustrations, it teaches children (and adults) how to weave using hands, cardboard, or an easy-to-create loom made from simple plumbing supplies. The book also includes fascinating features about weaving traditions around the world, special projects like creating a hideout from sticks and wildflowers, and stories of famous weavers like Penelope from The Iliad and The Odyssey. As the third installment in STC's Kids Craft series, following Kids' Embroidery and Kids Crochet, this delightful and easy-to-use guide brings one of the oldest craft traditions to creative children everywhere. Its step-by-step format and vibrant illustrations ensure successful results for crafters of all ages, making it the only weaving book specifically designed for children.
