I tried something new every month in 2015, and weaving was my August project! I did not fall in love with the craft, but as usual when I was searching around to prepare, I found lots of fun ideas and tutorials that I wanted to share. Here are the most fun weaving tutorials for beginners that I found, for both kids and adults!

 Getting started tips for weaving:

• I’ve read great things about this beginner weaving e-book!
• I used this kid’s lap loom.
• These tips on creating shapes while weaving from A Beautiful Mess gave great visuals.
• This list of unique homemade looms on Buggy & Buddy is full of color and creativity!
• Lots of visual weaving inspiration on @maryannemoodie’s IG.
• I’ve been building up my Pinterest board for weaving if you want to check it out!
• If you’re more into books, this one was recommended in a few different posts: “Learning to Weave” by Deborah Chandler
