Easy Round DIY Weaving Loom

Craft Basics· Kids Stuff· Yarn Crafts

Looking for an easy project that will fill a good amount of time for your older children during the Summer? How about giving this easy round DIY weaving loom a try? It’s simple to put together and learn but depending on the size of embroidery hoops you get, could take quite a while to finish. It’s a great boredom buster either at home or on the road!

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-6Supplies needed to make your own DIY weaving loom:supply-list

  • 8″ Round Embroidery Hoop
  • Assorted Yarn
  • Large Plastic Canvas Needle

Step One. Tie your first yarn loop on the embroidery hoop and then begin winding around until the entire circle is covered. It doesn’t have to be perfect but just remember to try and keep the spacing as even as possible and end with an odd amount of rows.

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-11Step Two. Once your circle is completely covered, end by securing the middle a few times with the yarn. Unless you want a bump in the middle, don’t make this part too bulky.

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-12Step Three. Begin winding the yarn in and out of the main strands with the XL plastic canvas needle. When it comes time to switch out colors, just tie one end to another and trim.

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-3Step Four. If you’d like, you can switch up the look of each row with different DIY weaving methods. You can see that I did something a little different in the picture below. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out but I love it!

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step Five. Continue weaving until you reach the loom border. If you’d like, add a decorative stitch around the wood hoop to add a final touch.

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-9And that’s it – your DIY weaving loom is finished! It sounds really easy but trust me, your kids will be well entertained for quite a while. I worked on mine for an hour or so on three different days so this could potentially take a young child with smaller hands and attention spans a month to complete.

DIY-weaving-Loom-Art-kids-Crafts-Unleashed-1What a great way to document Summer break! Hope you and your kids have fun making one this Summer!

    Hi,
    Is there a good way to remove the finished project and reuse the hoop?
    Thanks!

    I would use a string to tie the two pieces together.

    Hello,
    I think your project is very pretty.
    Do you think I could use a metal 8″ ring if I secured the end around the ring maybe with a little glue so they won’t move around. I would like to make this project and that is what I have right now. Jill
