Weaving with Paper by Nicole (Warped Fibers)
July 28 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
Explore paper weaving that goes beyond the placemats you made as a kid! Paper weaving is a fun, fast, and inexpensive way to weave without a loom. Learn the basics of paper weaving including set-up and the importance of material choice. Plus, how to create and combine your own patterns, creating shapes, how to secure your work, and more.
We will be creating 2 types of paper weavings: 1. Full strip weavings where we are only working with paper strips. 2. Partial strip weavings where we will cut and weave into our paper.
Materials Needed:
- Paper of your choice pre-cut into ¼ inch strips
- Uncut paper no larger than 8 ½ x 11
- X-acto knife
- Cutting mat
- Masking tape
- Graph paper
- Pencil
- Recommended papers: watercolor, bristol, or similarly stiff paper
- Other paper ideas: handmade paper, photographs, old drawings or journals, painted paper etc.

She has written 4 ebooks, published an online tapestry course, has an online shop where she sells kits and weaving merch, and a Patreon where you can access exclusive content. Nicole has been weaving with paper since she was in college. As a textile student who wanted to continue weaving at home, but didn’t have a loom, she started to explore paper as a weaving medium and hasn’t stopped since.
