Weaving

This is a simple project that requires just a bit of prep time putting together the base, which consists of some light, plastic fencing edged with duck tape.  For two of the edges I used a plastic edging that someone donated to our project stash.

I did the prep work at home and then took the edged pieces, along with pieces of ribbon and other simple embellishments, to our Tuesday activity group.  Because we used the plastic with the larger holes it was rather simple for the residents to weave the ribbon.  We did have some rather wide ribbon, which we cut down the middle to make sure that all of the ribbon strips were a bit narrower than the holes.

The actual size of the base we used was about 12x15.  The residents wove along the 12 inch length, making each row quite manageable.  Because we added flowers and butterflies the finished projects will be hung on resident's doors to encourage warm spring weather to hurry along.
