Woven Characters

In our class we made woven characters out of black and white paper.

First we had to have black paper and you can choose to have straight lines or squiggly lines.If you want straight you get your ruler and rule a line at the top then under that line you rule as many lines as you can but don't make them too fat or too skinny.If you want squiggly you do the same and rule a line at the top and underneath you do squiggly lines without a ruler. Then you cut the lines that you drew. Then you get as many white strips of paper as you need and start weaving in and out . When you have finished that row you do the opposite to the second row. So if you started under your now going to go over. And you keep doing that until you get to the bottom . Then you push all the white strips up to the top and then sellotape them. Once you've done that you close it up to make a cylinder shape and then staple the bottom and the top.

Then you start to make a face to do the eyes you cut out circles out of some scrap paper and do the same with the pupils. Then cut half a circle for a mouth . Then if you want you can cut some arms out. Then for the finishing touch you can make some hair and cut some lines up the paper for the wavy loaks and you can curl them if you want and glue your hair on.
