making woven bags

Summary

This video demonstrates the step-by-step process of creating a woven structure, starting with 12 sheets facing forward and 12 facing sideways. The technique involves alternating and locking the sheets into place, gradually building the piece up by weaving corners and locking them securely. The craftsperson continues to shape and insert additional materials, ensuring the structure is tight and stable. As the piece progresses, handle ropes are added, and the structure is shaped into a final form, with careful attention to detail, such as marking and securing corners. The process concludes with trimming and tidying the excess materials.

Takeaways

• 😀 Step-by-step weaving process with 12 sheets facing forward and 12 sheets facing sideways.
• 😀 Secure the sides to prevent them from coming loose during weaving.
• 😀 First corner weaving: Put two parts together and lock them in place.
• 😀 Repeat the same process for each corner, ensuring the weave is locked tightly.
• 😀 Continue weaving upwards, maintaining the desired height.
• 😀 Use material from the top right, bend it, and insert it into the weaving pattern.
• 😀 Repeat the bending and inserting process for each part of the material to keep it consistent.
• 😀 Trim the excess webbing using scissors to tidy up the work.
• 😀 Attach handle ropes by placing them into the hose and securing them at the top corners.
• 😀 Mark the top corners for proper alignment and attachment of the handle ropes.
• 😀 Form triangular shapes by rotating and inserting the material in specific ways to secure the structure.

Q & A

What is the first step in the weaving process described in the script?

The first step is to weave 12 sheets facing the front and 12 sheets facing the side, keeping them close together and locking the sides to prevent them from coming loose.

How are the corners handled in the weaving process?

The corners are woven by putting two parts together in a specific manner, alternating the steps, and locking them to secure the structure.

What is the significance of the 'step one' mentioned multiple times in the process?

'Step one' refers to the initial method of putting parts together in a particular alternating pattern and securing them. This is repeated at each corner.

How are the edges of the base secured during the process?

The edges of the base are secured by locking the sides together so that they do not come loose, ensuring stability in the structure.

What is the purpose of bending and inserting the material in the process?

Bending and inserting the material helps to form a more complex and stable structure, continuing the weaving process upward and creating a solid base for the item being made.

How are the handle ropes attached in the process?

The handle ropes are inserted into the hose at the top corners, then tied to secure them in place. A black mark is placed to guide the insertion of the ropes.

Why is a black mark placed on the top corners during the process?

The black mark on the top corners serves as a guide for where to insert and tie the handle ropes, ensuring proper alignment and placement.

What is the purpose of rotating and inserting the ropes to form triangles?

The rotation and insertion of the ropes form triangular shapes, which help to stabilize the structure and create a more secure and functional design.

How is excess material handled in the process?

Excess material, such as webbing, is trimmed off with scissors to tidy up the finished product and ensure it looks neat and well-crafted.

What is the final step in securing the handle ropes?

The final step involves pulling the ropes close to secure them, tying them in place, and cutting off any excess material to complete the handle attachment.
