Cardboard loom weaving

How to make it

1.

   Mark every 1/2 in along the top and bottom edges. Cut a 1/2 in slit at each mark.

   String the warp

   Tape the yarn end on the back. Wrap it through the top and bottom slits, back and forth, to make tight up-and-down strings.

   Thread a new color on the needle. Go over 1 string, under the next, all the way across.
