Using a rope made of finger woven plarn, we will weave it into a basket! Supplies: plarn rope, scissors, straight edge, marker or pencil, paper or styrofoam bowl. Following just the beginning steps, and stopping when it is still flat, you could make a coaster, or a frisbee. You could use the same procedures and techniques with a larger loom, like a hoola hoop. You could make a giant rug!!!
