Paper weaving is a wonderful way to use up those paper scraps that you just can’t throw away!
HELLO THERE FOX by Paige Evans
Here I weaved papers at an angle to create a unique photo mat for a pair of pictures.
J&A by Paige Evans
I layered and wove papers of all sizes and a few different textures for another fun photo mat.
THE CUTEST by Paige Evans
To make this big heart I wove papers across scratch paper and then simply cut the paper into a heart shape! I stitched around it to help keep the papers in place and to define the heart shape.

Even itty bitty 1/4″ paper strips can be woven together – the more patterns and colors the better to create a colorful background!

On this layout I made sure to leave a gap between each paper strip to help them pop off the white background.
Have you tried paper weaving before? Care to share what you’ve made? I’d LOVE to see!
Love these paper weaving ideas!
Now I know what to do with all those offcuts from my 12×12″ papers!
Here is a LO I did with a woven background:

I used two sheets of the same patterned paper – one cut in vertical strips and the other cut horizontally.
