A long time ago I found a tutorial on how to make bookmarks with Ugandan Weaving, but the site doesn’t exist any more and I couldn’t find it in internet.
\nTherefore I wrote something myself.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

That’s what you do:<\/strong><\/em>
\n\"unikatissima<\/a> First of all you must cut the paper stripes.
\nTake two coloured DIN A4 sheets and cut them in stripes of 1 cm.
\nSlit them in the middle, but let at one side a little piece (0,5 cm) unslit so that the stripes don’t fall apart.
\nYou can see this best on diagram 1 (click to enlarge).<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"unikatissima<\/a> Then lay the stripes side by side and weave them as seen in diagram 2 (click to enlarge).
\nI sketched it as if there were 4 colours, that looks also nice.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"unikatissima<\/a> When all stripes are woven fold the outer stripes back and weave on (see diagram 3, click to enlarge).<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Continue until you’re satisfied.
\nYou can see on the photo on top<\/a> that I haven’t read the instruction thoroughly: I didn’t take stripes of 1 cm but much broader ones, although I slit them every 0,5 cm, too.
\nThe disadvantage is, that the stripes are pushed apart and therefore the beginning (left of picture) doesn’t look very nice (although I took the photo so that it’s not to be seen ;-)).
\nWhen you take the 1 cm stripes which are slit once this effect doesn’t occur.
\nI taped the ends together with clear tape.
\nAnd I made the coloured papers by glueing two Christmas gift wrap papers together :)<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

While writing this entry I noticed that my straw hat (that I only use as decoration now) is made in a quite similar way. They wove a long strip in a kind of Ugandan weaving and sewed this strip together in spairals.
\nVery easy ;-)<\/div>\n
