ShmoxdHow to make a home made loom and wall hanging weave:) Get 2 months free to Skillshare: http://skl.sh/shmoxd5
Remember back in grade school when you would take lil strips of paper and you would put them inside an another paper with slits.. by going over under over under ect.. then take another strip and put it through opposite the other.. and keep doing that till you had a lilll thing.. Thats weaving
I made a couple with thread and yarn. They turned out okay.. I learned what to do and what not to do. I made them all on this thing which is called a loom.
The string that holds still and is usually up and down is called your warp string. On this particular loom.. I didn't like how wide apart the warp was.. and when I double it up it made the warp all close together where they meet.. So I thought would make my own loom:)
Im using a wooden frame that I got from a thrift store. I took the Embroidery piece out.. and Daria made that embroidery piece (I don't know who she is..) but it took em from 1979 - 1983 soooo I'm going to repurpose this piece in a future project.
I position the frame with the length taller than it is wide.. and I'm going to use some nails, a ruler, and colored pencils to make the loom. (Also a drill and a hammer)
The nails are 1/8'' wide. To make the warp spaced out evenly I'm going to mark off on the bottom every 1/8" and put a nail on every other mark.
I drew a line down the middle to try and keep the holes I drill nails nice and straight. Because the nails are so big, if you don't drill holes for the nails... the wood is going to crack. If you use smaller nails you should be okay:)
When I started hammering the nails I ran into another problem. Because the nails were so close to gather it made the head of the nails touch or overlap. That would make it really hare to get the warp in-between the nails. To fix that you just stagger the nails and make ever other nail shorter than the ones its surrounded by.
I drilled every other whole a little bit deeper and hammered them all in. Next I did the same thing on the other side... I found it was easier if I marked every 1/4", used the nails to make lil divots for the drill, and hammered in the short nails first then the tall ones.
Next the warp string. When I pick warp string I usually pick ones that don't stretch a lot. Other wise, it will make your weave shrink. I tested out using a stretchy warp on this lil weave.. and tbh it didn't shrink as much as I thought I would.. but it did a lil. so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Take your warp string. You want to start on the same amount of nails in on both sides. I tided the sting to the nail with a lil square knot and began to wrap it around the nails top to bottom.
Keep doing that till its as wide as you want your weave. on the very last string I don't tie it off yet.. I just wrap it around some nails and go back through all the strings and make sure its nice and tight. ( you want it tight enough that you can strum it but not so tight that the warp string is going to break)
So we have the width of the weave now to figure out how long we want it. I wanted it to end with 6" gap.. So I cut out a pice of poster board or card-stock that is 6" tall.
To get the card-stock in-between the warp you are going to use something call a shed stick. You can use a dowel, a paint stirrer, a ruler.. or something like that for the shed stick.
weave the shed stick in.. and then when you lift it up that will make a gap for the card stock. You will use this later when you put the yarn in.
The yarn/string that you put in between the warp sting is call the weft. To start, take like 5 lengths of the weft, and weave the shed stick in again opposite of what you have your cardstock in. Then put your weft in (I used a shuttle at first.. but I don't really like the shuttle so I'll show you in a sec how to do it with a needle). Be sure to leave a little tail. Annnnd I've hit my word cap with the descriptions:S I need to figure out CC.
!!! Thanks so much guys. My next big goal on Patreon will be to get an assistant so I can focus on just creating more content to put out for you guys! If you want to support me in that you can sign up here:) www.patreon.com/shmoxd
If you aren't using stuff from home.. here is a lil weaving kit: amzn.to/2rT2mVD (you could probably find it cheaper at like hobby lobby or something though)
