Inspired by traditional Navajo weavings, the third graders created their own weaving on a cardboard loom. As students finished their weaving the chose to mount their weaving on tag board, hang it from a natural branch, bead the ends, or leave it flat like a blanket with finished ends. Next year, I would probably do this earlier or later in the year and bring the class outdoors to work in the sun :)
These are gorgeous- I absolutely love weavings of any type. Thanks for sharing!
