Using a hand loom to weave a small hand purse
Warp the loom• Set up the vertical base threads
Weave the weft• Use one color thread or two (example below) to
weave the weft threads through the warp threads by going over and under them in an alternative pattern
Change basic weaving Pattern• Weave the same color thread twice to switch a
weaving pattern for two colors• Make sure to overlap the colors when switching
Complete the weaving process• Toward the end, it is hard for the shuttle to pass
through the warp threads, use a needle to finish the job
Wave/sew a label/pattern
Fold and sew the edges
