FEB09VSN8 ~ Sat. Jan. 17 ~ 7:00pm ~ Weave, Weave, Weave Us Together
KEYWORD FEB09VSN8 ~"Weave, Weave, Weave Us Together" Chat Thread Title: " Weave, Weave, Weave Us Together " Hostess: Diane (diane617) Keyword: FEB09VSN8 Weave us together in harmony and LOVE! (it�s a Girl Scout song) My challenge is to take the strips you trim from layers and weave them together and use them in a card. You could also take a mistake (maybe you stamped an incomplete image or a background didn�t turn out as you planned) and cut that into strips and no one will ever know when it�s woven! Feel free to mix and match colors and prints, it will look great too. There are a couple of ways to accomplish the weaving: First method: I use a piece of scrap printer paper as a base. Run a bit of adhesive along one edge of the scrap paper and use this to attach strips (warp). This will add stability as you begin weaving the weft strips. Now take more strips and weave them across the warp strips. Pushing the strips tight together will give the piece stability, but if you like a loose weave, use a layer piece in place of scrap paper to stabilize your weaving. When you have the size you like you can carefully remove it from the scrap paper and trim to the size you need. Leave irregular ends or trim evenly, that�s your call, but use the weaving on a card. You will need to apply glue along the outside strips to prevent unweaving (ask me how I know) before attaching Alternative method: cut slits in a layer piece and run your strips through the slits, just like we learned to make placemats in first grade! Requirements: UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 18th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge. 3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos. It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in the chat thread just in case the gallery is being testy. VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE

Fun challenge Diane! I am always messing with my thin little strips, weaving them together and such, but never do anything with them. Off to play!

I was wondering why you were calling yourself Diane :rolleyes:
My CNY friends call me TOD- for The Other Diane-there was one in the group when I got there.

Diane, Thanks for the fun challenge and a way to use up more scraps.
When I got mine woven together it made me think of a quilt so I decided on adding jammybella and a
SLUMBER PARTY .
