Woven Wool Art

wool
These wonderful stars can be made in many different sizes, all you have to do is alter the size of your sticks.
Start off by lashing the two sticks together.
do this by forming a cross with the sticks.
Using the wool tie these stickes together by lashing a knot over the two sticks.
weaving:
Weaving can be done in multiple ways from loops around the sticks for an inverted look to a simple under and over method which is what we used.
Simply take your wool and keeping it firm go under and around each stick before continuing on.
Change colors by tieing in a new strand.
Kids can make these with ease, simply let them loose on the lashed cross and allow them to twist and loop as they like. They can fill it gaps by later by weaving in lengths of ribbon or glueing on wood shapes..
