Willow Weaving with One Planet Afterschool Kids


I am having the greatest time leading a "Wonderful Willow Craft" program for kids aged K-6. Our current project consists of a willow "loom" onto which we are weaving more willow, grapevine, day lily leaves and whatever other natural weaving materials we can find along with stips of 100% cotton and wool yarn, also natural materials just in their processed state of being...

Our previous project were miniature (fairy) doors created with willow sticks and decorated with a bit of raffia! Lots of fun!

some of us might have gotten a little carried away with the hot glue gun... 8-)



Next up we'll be working on our own willow stick creations! Check back and see what we make!

As always, i'm having fabulous fun weaving willow in the mountains of Vermont. I hope your days are filled with something you love to do too!

Until next time-
