Directions to Make Paper Weaving Heart Craft
Print out the heart-weaving template on thick and sturdy paper.
On the heart template, – Cut out the Vertical lines using a Paper cutter by placing them over a cutting mat! Remember to cut only on the lines and leave a gap at the end.
After cutting the lines, cut the heart out along the edges.
Next, cut some 1 cm wide colourful strips from cardstock. We always use a Paper trimmer to cut the strips.
No paper cutter? Please mark 1 cm lines and cut with a pair of scissors.
Let’s start weaving! Take a strip and insert it into the Slits of the Heart template, bring it over and again under. This is how you weave until you reach the other end.
Take the second strip and repeat the process. The only change would be that we have to alter the side that we insert. (See the image for clarity.)
Continue weaving all the strips until the Heart template is tightly packed from bottom to top.
Now the final step is to cut the Extra stips projecting on the front and back sides. Later, you can stick it to the base or leave it as it is. Your Paper Heart is ready for display.
How beautiful and vibrant is the Paper Woven Heart Craft? Make as many hearts as you need with different colours! Perfect for a Bulletin board!
