Third grade weavings

Thanks to my cousin Susan who is an interior designer in the area, we were given an abundance of fabric samples.  In the middle of the night, of course, it hits me that I can use these fabric samples, all about a 12x18 size, as the warp for my weavings this year.  We focus on fibers and the students learn about how fibers make up materials and where you can find them.  We use a variety of things to weave including, yarn, raffia, fabric, ribbon, pipe cleaners, etc.  The students did okay with this lesson.  They were hard to keep together so we had to tape the backs of them to hold them tighter.
