Treasure purses are a favorite weaving project in our
house. They are just the right size to hold coins and the
small trinkets and treasures that children love. There
is something special—fundamental and resonating with
times past—about making your own fabric. Woven trea-
sure purses make wonderful gifts for friends, and the loom
size can be changed to make pencil or eyeglass cases.
These portable cardboard looms are versatile and easy to
make using free, recycled materials. Weaving a treasure
purse is a great project for learning the basics of weaving
while making something both practical and beautiful.
