How to DIY Woven Wool Art for Under $100

We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but weavings are all the rage for 2015. When I first heard about this craze my mind did a rewind to 3rd grade, where my art teacher told us to make a weaving of our own face — not flattering. But these are nothing like your elementary school projects; they’re fun, whimsical art pieces that bring warmth and texture into your decor. Word on the street is these babies can cost around $400 — NO WAY! We bought 16 spools of yarn for $100 and made two beautiful pieces. In fact, we could probably make at least 6 more. As a part of our #31DaysofDIY it’s time to share the secrets of weaving with you.

No idea what #31DaysofDIY is? It’s a brand new tradition here at Brit + Co that’s all about kicking off the new year right. We’ve challenged ourselves to make or learn something new every single day for the month of January, and we’re inviting all of you along for the ride. From DIY basics like Sewing 101 to learning to design and laser cut our own stencils, we hope this month of making inspires you to get creative all year long. Now, let’s wind up our loom!

Materials:

– cardboard

– twine

– textured yarn in a monochromatic color scheme

– pipe-cleaners

– pom-pom trim

Tools:

– scissors

– ruler

– marker

Instructions:

1. Cut out a piece of cardboard to the desired size of your weaving.

2. Mark one-inch dashes on the top and bottom of the cardboard and then cut slits.

3. Using your twine, wrap the cardboard lengthwise sandwiching the string into the slits. You now have a loom!

4. Time to start weaving. Choose the yarn you want to start with and weave it into the loom going over, under, over, under, etc. For your second row you will weave under, over, under, over, etc. You will continue this variation until you reach the bottom of the loom.

5. Try weaving different patterns! For example only weave on type of string half way through, and then using a different string weave the other half. You can also play with different materials, for example, pipe cleaners, trim or rope.

6. To take your weaving off the loom, cut the strings at the back of the loom and then tie two strings to each other. Continue tying the strings together until you have tied all strings at the top and bottom of the weaving.

7. No wall hanging is complete without tassels. To make a tassel, hold one end of the string in your hand and then wrap around your palm until there is a thick buildup of string. Slide the loop off of your hand and tie a knot around the bundle. Cut an extra piece of yarn, tie and wrap around the top 1/5th of the tassel to create a little ball of yarn. Make about ten of these for the bottom of your weaving.

8. To attach the tassels, slip the twine through the top of the tassels and tie the two pieces of twine together.

9. Time to hang that weaving up on the wall!

We chose an 18-inch x 24-inch piece of cardboard to create our loom. Feel free to make your loom as big or small as your would like. Once you decide on a size, create one-inch dashes on the top and bottom of your board. Then cut those dashes about one inch down the cardboard.

Weaving Pro Tip 1: Smaller looms are harder to get your fingers in to pull your yarn, so we suggest using a yarn needle. Bigger looms will take a long time to complete, so try spreading it out over a couple of weekends.

Weaving Pro Tip 2: If you decide to create a smaller loom, measure out dashes so they are closer together.

Time to wind up this loom. Start at the top left and slide your twine into your first slit. Then bring the string down and slide it into the first slit on the bottom left. Bring the twine back to the top and continue the pattern until you get to the end of the loom. The slits are pretty tight so they will hold the twine in place. You can also secure your loose ends by taping them to your cardboard.

You are going to follow the simple pattern of over, under, over, under, until you get to the end of the loom. Your next row will be the opposite, under, over, under, over. Repeat this pattern all the way until the bottom of the loom. If you can see the twine from the loom you have messed up the pattern. By alternating under, over, etc you will sandwich in the loom strings and create a tight weaving!

To secure the yarn you’ll need to tie it onto the loom. This is extremely important; it will make sure your weaving doesn’t unwind.

Another option is tying your different yarns together. You can continue weaving with the knot; it will get hidden in the sea of yarn texture!

Going all the way across the loom can get boring fast. So spice it up by creating blocks of texture within your loom. To do this, weave halfway or however far across the loom as you want. After you weave your first chunk, grab a different textured yarn and fill in the gap. Make sure you weave into that shared twine on the loom. This will make sure you don’t create a hole.

Try weaving in different textures and trim. We played with pipe cleaners and pom pom trim. These really amped up our texture game.

We decided to keep a monochromatic palette and just play with different textures. If we do say so ourselves, it turned out pretty freakin’ awesome!

Time to take the weaving off of your loom. Turn it over and snip the twine. Pull the twine out of the cardboard and tie every two strings together in a double knot.

We are in love! However it looks a little naked on the bottom. Let’s add our favorite accessory: tassels!

Let’s refresh with a mini tassel making tutorial. First wind your hand with tons of yarn, cut the yarn and slip it off your hand. Use the cut end to tie the bundle together. Snip another piece of the yarn and wrap and tie it around the top 1/5th of the tassel. Snip off the extra ends and the bottom loops to turn it into a tassel.

You’re going to need a bunch of tassels. We suggest creating them using the different yarns featured throughout your weaving.

Slide your tassels onto the loom strings, tie in a double knot and snip the twine.

Much better! The tassels really complete the weaving and turn it into a statement piece of wall art.

We”ll be honest; we can’t get over this texture! Investing in a variety of richly textured and colorful yarns is definitely worth it.

We also created an off-white weaving. To amp up the texture in this one we added some thick nautical rope.

Pair your winter wall hanging with fun art that complements your weaving. A white room accompanied with the warmth of a winter weaving = YES PLEASE!

Every Gilmore Girls fan knows that Luke and Lorelai were always endgame. Despite the fact they had to watch each other get into different relationships (while I love Max, I'll never be able to stomach the way Christopher acts ugh). But there's one moment in an early Gilmore Girls episode that teases Luke and Lorelai getting married, and even though I've watched it countless times I never caught it before!

Here's that Luke and Lorelai wedding detail you probably missed in Gilmore Girls season 2.

Lorelai teased her wedding date way before 'A Year in the Life'

@dianaathome Caught on my 11523rd rewatch 🤯 #gilmoregirls#gilmoregirlstiktok @valeriescateyescream ♬ original sound - Diana @ Home

Gilmore Girls season 2, episode 3, "Red Light on the Wedding Night" opens with Lorelai and Rory tasting Fran's cakes at Weston's Bakery ahead of Lorelai's wedding to Max. And when Fran insists the girls stay to figure out exactly which cake flavor they like the best, sticking firm to the idea that there's nothing more important than your wedding day, Lorelai doesn't bat an eye when she says, "Well, it ain't Guy Fawkes Day." And TBH, Fran's confused response is exactly how I felt the first time I watched this episode.

We all know Lorelai gets cold feet when she realizes she's not actually in love with Max and bails on him before the wedding. After all, it's definitely more memorable than Lorelai's joke, which I've always taken to be a throwaway line (she really does have a random sense of humor). That is, until @dianaathome on Tiktok pointed out that Guy Fawkes Day, a British holiday celebrating the failed Gunpowder Plot that happened in 1605, takes place on November 5 — the same day as Luke and Lorelai's wedding in A Year in the Life.

I can't believe I never caught this! And I'm not the only one. "I don't know if I'm more impressed that someone snuck this in or that you found it!" one user commented, while another says, "It is Helen Pai and Dave Rygalski's anniversary. [Luke and Lorelai's] original wedding date June 3rd is Helen Pai's birthday!" (Helen Pai is the real-life, albeit loose, inspiration for Lane Kim!)

Now, while this is a super fun connection to find, a lot of Gilmore Girls viewers are realizing just how much they dislike Lorelai's behavior in the actual scene (as in, eating all the cake knowing Sookie was already preparing one). And it's sparked a ton of conversation.

"I felt so bad for [Fran]! She put all the effort and make all those adorable and tasty cakes and the two of them are like “Hehe screw ethics we get to eat free cake!”since Sooki was just going to make one for free," one Reddit user says. "Maybe it’s the service industry in me talking but I can’t get over how annoyed I would be."

Another goes so far as to say this scene is why they "I like to think this is the reason she wouldn’t sell the Dragonfly to Lorelai & Sookie. Revenge."

If Fran's cake tasting really was free, then eating her out of house and home just for fun is definitely not cool, Lorelai. (Although I still think it's not as unrealistic as her showing up to Chilton in a tee and shorts).

Rotate And Refresh

What’s fun about a personal art collection is that you can swap it in a new space for an instant refresh. Consider changing art with the seasons or moving art from one room to the next to give it more exposure in a high-traffic space.


Once you’ve begun to curate art pieces that resonate with you, it’s essential to take good care of your purchases so they’ll stand the test of time and continue to bring you joy.

Here are a few tips on how to preserve your art for a lifetime:

  1. Avoid hanging artwork in direct sunlight or in a space with extreme fluctuations in temperature. Sunlight can cause fading overtime, so explore UV-filtering framing options and be mindful of how the light can change in your space throughout the year.
  2. Keep a microfiber cloth or soft, clean brush on hand for routine dusting and cleaning of your art. Avoid any chemical cleaning solutions or water that could damage the work.
  3. Research the art trends associated with your work and learn more about the creator behind the art so you can take pride in the pieces you’ve curated and feel super knowledgeable about them.

Treat your art with love and care, and let your imagination run wild to create a collection that is truly a reflection of you and your creativity!

Did you know the colors you are surrounded with can enhance your mood and energy? Think about the color palette in your closet right now. What colors are you most drawn to? Before you freak out if black or gray are your go-to colors for your daily wear (guilty!) maybe after reading this, it will inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and try to work with new colors. What if I tell you that your astrological sign has a designated color palette to support your journey?

Color therapy, or “chromotherapy,” can supplement your well-being. Integrating astrology will also help you pinpoint the colors you are most attracted to and how to become more in tune with yourself. Astrology is a fantastic modality for gauging self-acceptance while also becoming your best self, and color therapy is the therapeutic means to rebalance and power up your goals.

Working with the colors assigned to your zodiac sign can support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Read on to learn how color therapy works and which color palette best suits your zodiac sign!

Here's how to make color therapy work for your zodiac sign — and feel good doing it!

What is color therapy?

Helena Lopes

Color therapy is a holistic, non-invasive modality used for the body. Historical figures such as Pythagoras (circa 2,500 years ago) applied “color light” therapeutically, while “color halls” were used as a means of treatment in ancient Egypt, China, and India. The modern medical pioneer patron of color therapy was Niels Finsen of Denmark in 1877. He discovered that visible light was how ultraviolet or red light energy could heal wounds, bacterial infections, or scars. Sounds familiar? In this present, infrared light therapy is used for pain relief, improved sleep, inflammation, facials, detoxes, and more. Knowing this, you can see why color and light restores our mind, body, and emotional needs.

There are many ways in which you can work best with color therapy. To implement physical changes, you can update your selection of colors in your clothing, nail colors, makeup palette, or home decor. For the mind and emotional system, you can work with colors through visualization practices like art, meditation, or a color therapy lamp.

How Can Color Therapy and Astrology Work Together?

let mous

Color therapy works by frequency or wavelengths of colors, which can have a physiological or psychological impact on our well-being. Using appropriate colors guided by your zodiac sign can rebalance or harmonize your body’s energy centers. How can color therapy integrate with your zodiac sign? It begins by knowing and working with your Sun sign, granting you more confidence and understanding regarding your direction. It extends our overall vitality and spreads endless radiance in our lives. It fuels our well-being and emits light wherever it touches in the birth chart. In principle, our Sun sign is our destination point, our identity. Now, the Sun Sign is where we can reach that higher level of understanding about our process and how we will experience fulfillment in this life. Incorporating color therapy guided by astrology can help you obtain confidence, and when you feel balanced, you make sound choices.

​How Colors Align With Zodiac Signs

Brit + Co

Observing the astrological signs, they are all categorized within the elemental values. Starting with fire, the signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are placed within this element. These signs hold precedence over the esoteric realm of spirit as they are meant to initiate, inspire, and teach. Fire tones are within the spectrum of golds, reds, and oranges.

The signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn reside within the earthy realm. They are supportive, detailed, and persevering in nature. The earth element enables humanity to take a firm stance involving patience or consistency. Deep greens, grays, and navy are colors that hold a grounded energy for these signs.

The signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius inhabit the air element. Those who hold this element strongly have the skill to circulate a constant flow of ideas, remain stimulated, and effectively communicate. Air energy guides humanity in the exchange of information, negotiation, and evolution. For clarity, the colors that best support these signs are yellows, pastel blues, or electric blues.

Ending with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, these signs embody the water element. Natives with a strong water element are receptive to others' feelings and can be intuitive. They can also conjure creativity, withstand intensity, and dive deep into the world of dreams. Colors such as purples, deep reds, or soft greens can help these signs invoke self-love and confidence.

Energetic Healing Visualization Technique

Mikhail Nilov

  1. Position yourself comfortably or sit in a lotus position. Place your left hand over your heart area.
  2. Take a deep breath through your nose, then exhale slowly through your mouth. With each breath, feel your body becoming more relaxed.
  3. Focus on the soles of your feet and imagine an energetic pull grounding you, anchoring you in the present moment.
  4. Take another deep breath, feeling a nurturing energy rising from the ground, reaching up to the soles of your feet. Allow this energy to gently move upward, relaxing and energizing your body—feet, calves, thighs, core, shoulders, arms, neck, face, and head.
  5. Imagine a bright, glowing light in the sky above you. This light represents your Higher Self.
  6. See the light spiraling down toward you, entering through the crown of your head and flowing through your body. As it moves, it changes into a vibrant color that resonates with you.
  7. Take another deep breath and allow the colored light to fill your core center. Visualize it growing brighter and expanding with each breath, filling your entire body.
  8. Imagine the light forming a dome or egg-like shape around your body, extending outward, cleansing your physical and energetic space.
  9. Release any tensions, worries, or negative energy, visualizing them fading away into the ground. Trust the process of transformation.
  10. Continue this visualization as long as you need. When you feel light and neutral, place your hands in a prayer position and silently offer thanks.
  11. Visualize the light around you returning to its source, and when ready, gently open your eyes.

This practice can be done 1-2 times daily, ideally in the morning or before bedtime.
