Wall decoration - Circular weaving with grape vines

I tried circular weaving. When you don’t want to spend money on a wooden or plastic circular loom use what you have around your house. For my first circular weaving I used grape vines.

They are easy to model when they are fresh and after they dry stay strong to support your project.

Materials:

-          Grape vines

-          Yarn – different colors

-          White thread for the warp

-          Scissors

-          Needle

Directions:

 I made a circle out of grape vines (D = 23cm). My circle is an actual wreath so it looks bigger and better. When the circle is dry tie your thread around the grape vines. When you are done secure the thread.

I didn’t follow a pattern when I started to weave my yarn. I started with white and then changed it along the way. My white thread is a thin thread, so the middle looks better.

Because my warp wasn’t perfect, I got to make a great pattern. Sometime an imperfect begging can lead to something beautiful.

Have you tried circle weaving or weaving in general? I started to love it. Tell me about your experiences, leave a link to your projects.

Happy weaving!
