Grab your two pieces of paper, your pencil, scissors and ruler if you have one.

With you base piece of paper vertical (long edge on the side) fold the top down to the bottom. This should meet the two short ends of the paper together.

With the fold at the top, place your ruler (or flat edge) approximately an inch from the top of your paper.

Draw a line along the flat edge.

Next, with your paper in the same position (folded end at top) you are going to draw lines approximately 1 inch from the top to the bottom of the folded paper.

With the paper in the same position, you will cut up each of the lines of the paper till you get to the cross line and stop.

You do not want to cut the base paper all the way through as this is going to be the paper that holds the weaving.

It should look like an accordion once you are done.

Put that paper to the side and grab your second piece of paper. This is your weaving paper.

Fold your weaving paper in half the same way you folded your base paper where the short ends of the paper will meet up.

Now with the ruler, you are going to draw lines from top to bottom just as you did with the base paper. You will be cutting through this paper, so no need for the line at the top.

Cut the paper along the lines creating paper strips.

Unfold both the base paper and the paper strips.

Starting at the bottom of the paper weave a paper strip over and under through you base paper.

The second strip will then weave the opposite of the first, so under and then over.

Continue up the paper alternating until you get to the top.

Once you have your paper complete you can either cut off the excess paper on the ends or fold them over and tape them.
