You can take it home and hang it on the wall, or you can turn it over and cut the warp string at the center of the tray. Be sure your ends are woven in and treat it gently once it’s off the loom. You will now tie the warp ends.

Wash a meat tray very well with soap and hot water. Any foam tray will work. Your bakery may use them, too.

Lay the tray ‘face’ down on a counter and, holding the fork up-right, press the tines of a fork into the edge of the tray. You’ll probably have to wiggle it a bit. It does not make deep indentations. Place the first tine into the last indentation to space the next set and continue across the tray. Turn the tray over and repress the indentations. Be careful… too much pressure will break the tray. Don’t get too far into the corner curve as the warps will just fall off there.

This is the back of the loom. I just tied the ends of the warp in a bow to keep them out of the way.

I had a couple of rulers handy so used one as a shuttle and the other as a warp stick. You can make a shuttle out of a piece of cardboard. When I wove with the kids we used short pieces of yarn or the mylar bag strips or some ribbon, etc. So did not really need a shuttle and they used their fingers to open the warp. A crochet hook or bent wire would also work to open the shed and pull the yarn though. Be imaginative!

When I got to the end where the rulers wouldn’t work any more I folded the yarn into a small “skein” and used the hook to pull it though. Remember to weave in your ends.

I tied the warp strings with a overhand knot. If the string are too short or your fingers to big, you can use your crochet hook to help. If you have used a large tray, your piece can now be folded and made into a purse or a marble bag or stuffed and used as a pin cushion. You can make a lot of them, and sew them together and make a scarf the hard way! 😛
Have fun!
