I'm doing this with a girls scout troop to get them use to weaving. Intstead of buy individual looms, we made our own use a check box.(you know the box your checks come in?) Take the bottom box and put in 9 to 10 slits -space them about 1/8 of an in on the both sided of the narrow side of the box. Take cotton string and wrap around the box so that the string is stuck in the slit tightly. Take a piece of yarn and tie it to the bottom of either the left or right side of the first string and weave over - under -over - under. You can use different color pieces of yarn to make a cool looking weave. At the end, cut the bottom of the strings and leave at least 2 inches hanging to that you may tie beads to the end!

A fun learning invexpensinve craft!!

That sounds like a fun project to do! I like the recycling idea of it. I was at our local fleet farm and sound a loom for kids. It was around $15!
