Quarantine Project #2 - Children's Scrap Yarn Rainbow

And here's another project that I've been working on during our stay at home orders - a children's weaving project to make a rainbow using scrap yarn.

This craft begins uses half of a paper or foam plate with a raised rim.  The plate needs to be strung with some cord or string before beginning the weaving process.  Adults should do the initial preparation for setting up the plate loom, but kids will enjoy watching their rainbow appear before their eyes.

This is a "make and make do" project, using materials that are basic and handy. You can use any weight of scrap yarn for this project. For each color of the rainbow, you only need about 3 feet of yarn. If you don't have one color, you can just substitute two shades of another.  I have all the directions with photos on Hubpages for you to follow.

Once you rainbow is completed, you can finish it by adding some fluffy cotton ball clouds!  Check out the full tutorial here.
