Combining Weaving and Storytelling Art Project

I love this idea of combining storytelling and
weaving at New City Arts! It's a great way to encourage
creative writing so homeschoolers be sure to check
this out. I really enjoyed looking at the examples and
reading the meaning of each one, just wonderful!

a template for this felt reindeer ornament.

Create a beaded holiday picture that can be displayed
year after year. This makes for good stitching practice
too! Details at Ordinary Life Magic.
