Burlap Texture Weavings
First graders just completed their first textile project, burlap weavings! Students investigated different woven materials and talked about reasons why people weave. We learned that most fabric made today is woven by machines and discovered we could see the threads in our clothes! Students were each given a piece of burlap and experimented with weaving different materials and textures including yarn, straws, beads, paper, pipe cleaners and ribbon.
