  Step 1

  Get your fabric or clothes and cut thin strips from it.
  The longer the strips are the easier it will be to weave them.

• 

  Step 2

  Tie the strip to the first yarn.
  *You can sew it instead if you want to avoid lumps from the knots.

• 

  Step 3

  Be sure to leave out at least two fingers of yarn before you start,because on the end you will need to cut and tie the yarn.

• 

  Step 4

  For me its easier if I lean the loom against the table or a chair.

• 

  Step 5

  Now to start the weaving!
  Pull the fabric under the second yarn.

• 

  Step 6

  Above the third,under the fifth,above the sixth,under the seventh...

• 

  Step 7

  I think you get the picture. :)

• 

  Step 8

  When your turning around make sure that if your fabric is under,you pull it above in the turn.Like on the picture.

• 

  Step 9

  Now if you want to change color or your fabric is out,always do it on the end.Never in the middle.

• 

  Step 10

  Get your new strip of fabric and tie or sew them together.

• 

  Step 11

  Keep on weaving.

• 

  Step 12

  Use your fingers to press the weaving together.

• 

  Step 13

  Like this.
  You dont want to have holes in your weaving.

• Step 14

  TAKING YOUR WORK OFF THE LOOM
  (when you are done with the size you wanted to weave dont forget to leave two fingers of yarn on the end too.For the same reasons as on the beginning.)

• 

  Step 15

  Cut off the yarn from the nails.

• 

  Step 16

  Tie the yarns together two by two.

• 

  Step 17

  Then tie them together again two by two.
  Do the same on the other side too.

• 

  Step 18

  This is one of my work taken off the loom.

• 

  Step 19

  If you sew the strips of fabric together when weaving them,you will avoid these.
  If you tie them together like I did,to get rid of them you will need to pull them in the weaved piece with a crochet hook.

• 

  Step 20

  When your done,you can use them as rugs,sew bags from it,use them for seat covers...
  I have one in my bathroom as a rug.

why do you have to change pieces at the ends?
