Weave a Paper Dress

      Art teachers are always looking for new ideas for teaching this standard paper weave project. This is because many states require a weave technique be taught to young students several times before they graduate from elementary school. Paper weaving is, of course, very inexpensive for teachers to teach. Above you can see my teacher's sample of the process.

       This year, I viewed these examples of paper weaving in a local elementary art exhibit and thought them to be unique interpretations of an old paper weaving requirement. A child's perspective on life is both charming and refreshing when given just a bit of liberty. I particularly love the teddy bear version below.
