Evergreen Tree Weaving
Before we get started, I would like to thank @adventures_in_teaching_art for the project idea. The next day I was browsing Instagram and I liked it! This is my take on knitting.
List of materials
Chinese tablets (8.75)
Scissors
Temperature (for background)
Wire (dark green, brown and black)
Needles with plastic thread
Additional beads (for jewelry)
Additional pipe cleaner (for Star)
First, ask the students to paint the wallpaper on the china plate. You can take your time or take the opportunity to talk about the face, middle, background, and atmosphere.
Once their plates are dry, make a series of cuts on them. Two at the top (3/4 inch apart) and 10 at the bottom (at the same distance).
Give students a long rope for their twisted rope - these straight ropes are tied to rope (cardboard). 8.85 “If you are using tiles, you will need to give each student approximately 12.5 feet (or 150). The color you use for this should be different than the color you use for the wood (transparency)."
Students tie one end of the yarn to the top left slit (short end at the back) and begin wrapping the yarn around the plate. Students use 5 cuts from top left to left, then 5 cuts from top to right.
After all the warp threads are attached, students take the remaining small thread and wrap the first 10 threads in a circle, then tie a double knot to secure them together. Any remaining thread must be rolled up and tied to the other end of the thread (still hanging from the original thread on the back of the plate).
The next thing I added to my plate was a pipe cleaner star on top of a tree. But looking back, this probably had to wait until the end.
To create, I took a small yellow pipe brush and put 5 beads in the middle. Then wrap the tube around the edges so that the edges look like dots on a star. Using both ends of the hook, insert the pipe cleaner under the top of the star wires, then twist to secure.
Once they are done with their puppies, give them a long, dark green thread (for weaving cords). They tie one end of the elbow to the top of the rope. If you want to make a simple knit, you can tie a piece of plastic yarn to the other end of the yarn. Then they begin to tie the paper twine in the correct order under the warp twine and under the net. * Tell him not to overtighten the threads. Having reached the last thread of deformation, they turn and begin to knit in the opposite direction.
When shopping, remind students to wrap the knitting thread from time to time. If you use a needle, you can easily use it to pick them up.
If you want to add "decorations" to the Christmas tree, add a few beads to the thread from time to time.
When finished with the dark green string, the students tie off the end of one of the deformable strings.
To grow a tree trunk, students should take a brown thread and tie one end to the fourth (left or right) thread. For weaving the top, 4 threads of medium tension are used.
If you want to have a more modern, less modern Christmas party with this project, have the students do it without the stars and decorations.
