Description: Ever been curious about weaving? Why not start with weaving bands with cards? Using simple tools, we’ll start weaving a band that can be used as a lanyard, lace, or bracelet. We will begin with a discussion on how to read and design tablet weaving drafts. Then we will proceed to setting up the cards, weaving the band, and end with a discussion of finishing techniques. Along the way, we will focus on avoiding common pitfalls and sharing tips and tricks for weaving perfect bands. For those interested in learning how to tablet weave.
