I am a CreativeBug affiliate, so if you click a link in this post and buy something I’ll get a little kickback. But I love it and I hope you’ll check it out!
Do you subscribe to CreativeBug? It’s such a fun little site full of project videos and in-depth classes on all sorts of crafty topics.
I have subscribed for a long time (it’s only $4.95 a month for unlimited classes, and you can save one class in your account every month for each month you are a subscriber) but I don’t always take advantage of it.
I’ve decided I need to start using it more and have watched a few short project classes lately during my “lunch break.”
Kids Weaving by Kelly Wilkinson
One that I watched recently, appropriately enough, was the Kids Weaving class. It’s just 21 minutes long, so you can watch it all in one go, but it includes a lot of information such as:
- how to make and set up a cardboard loom
- yarn selection
- how to work the yarn through the loom
- how to secure yarn for little hands
- finishing
- uses for woven pieces
It’s a really cute class with Wilkinson (editorial director at CreativeBug) and her two kids, and it’s clear that both kids and adults can do this easy craft and have a lot of fun with it.
In fact, watching the class inspired me to make my little cardboard loom weaving the other day. And I still want to do a bigger one soon.
