Orange and Black Placemats
You will need:
- Orange and black construction
paper
- Scotch tape
- Child proof
scissors
- A ruler
- A pencil
Directions:
- Using a ruler, measure every
one inch on both the orange and black sheets of paper. Draw a vertical line every one inch for
each sheet of paper
- Cut both sheets of paper into
1” strips
- Line up the orange strips so
that they form a rectangle (it should look like the piece of
paper before it was
cut). The strips should each be touching the
ones next to it.
- Tape the left edge of the
lined up orange strips, so that they do not come apart
- Using one black strip at a
time, weave the strips in and out of the orange strips, forming
a criss-cross
pattern. You should alternate which
direction you start the black strips from (over or under the orange strips).
- Once all of the strips have
been woven, tape the remaining edges of the placemat so
that the black strips do not fall out.
