Do you want to take your paper weaving to the next level?
Most of us know of paper weaving as something we did as kids.
Maybe paper weaving as a kid was the first time you had ever woven anything (and maybe it still is!) That is OK! This e-book is great for weavers of all levels.
Just because it is something that can and should be taught to kids doesn't mean that it doesn't have its own unique possibilities that you can explore!
Paper weaving isn't just for kids.
I started weaving with paper in college as a way to create artwork with my journals and have since been exploring its many amazing possibilities.
Why learn to weave with paper?
Paper weaving is inexpensive, tactile, customizable, and fun to do!

And so much more!
This e-book is comprised of 35 full-color pages with images, diagrams, information, and pro tips! Keep in mind there is no right way to weave with paper, so I include options for a lot of the topics discussed.
The end of the e-book also includes a pattern combination I made just for this e-book. Start weaving complex patterns right away!
Future updates to this book are included at no extra charge!
From Start To Finish
Go through the paper weaving process starting with what types of papers to choose and why - all the way to how to best secure your paper in place and show it off to the world!
Make It Your Own
Learn all about utilizing pattern for a 3-dimensional surface!
Choosing the right paper and the right pattern will create interesting and unique paper weavings that "pop".
Creating your own unique patterns will make them "pop" even more!
Creating combo patterns is just one reason that paper weaving stands out from other forms of weaving. You aren't confined to what your loom can do.
To The Next Level
Paper weaving may seem simplistic (and it can be), but it also allows you the freedom to create with almost no limits but your imagination.
Upgrade and add to your surfaces with different art techniques, think outside of the square, and more to take your paper weavings from "Eh. That's cool" to "Wow!"
Hi! I'm Nicole!
I am a weaver and fiber artist that loves to share her passion with anyone willing to listen! I started weaving in 2012 as a student at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and I haven't stopped since. I have been teaching people how to weave since 2015 with my in-person classes at local art centers, yarn shops, and a semester as adjunct faculty at VCU. I have taught frame weaving (2 and 4 selvedge), weaving on a floor loom, tapestry, embroidery weaving, introduction to textiles, and more!
I began Warped Fibers at the beginning of 2020 so that I could connect and teach more people about the wonderful world of weaving (gotta love alliteration!) Weaving is a fun, meditative, historically significant, and enriching skill that ANYONE can learn.
