Materials 

Instructions 

  • Collect all your materials.
  • Use the rim of a bowl to draw a circle pattern on the paper plate.
  • Using a ruler, draw one straight line from the edge of the circle to the paper plate's edge.
  • Use a ruler to measure a 4.5 cm distance from the tip of the first line. Mark this spot and measure another 4.5 cm from this mark.
  • Continue making these marks until you’ve finished marking around the entire circle.
  • Use the marks to create your straight line from the edge of the circle to the plate's edge, as you did the first time.
  • As you complete a cake slice-like shape with your lines, number these shapes in order.
  • When you’ve finished with your lines, you should have a total of nine shapes.
  • Use your ruler to create triangles around each of the lines you’ve created. Use the lines as the middle of the triangle, and draw the edges of the triangle using dashed lines.
  • Cut along the dashed lines, cutting out a total of nine triangles.
  • Fold up the flaps to create the sides of the bowl.
  • Grab your first yarn color and stick the edge on the surface of the plate using Scotch tape.
  • Weave around the bowl using an alternating pattern until you reach your desired height for that color.
  • Grab your second yarn color and attach this to the edge of your first yarn using a knot.
  • Weave the second yarn color as you did the first one.
  • Continue you the same process for your third yarn color, leaving at least 1 cm of paper plate material.
  • Use a scissor to neatly tuck the end of your last yarn into the yarn layers below it. Do the same for the first edge of yarn you taped on the surface of the plate.
  • Fold the excess paper plate material outwards, to create an overlapping rim for the bowl.
  • And just like that, you’ve just created yourself a beautiful, woven bowl!
