Well, once again we've been bitten by the weaving bug. This time we took a different approach and made some woven paper turtles! Like their yarn counterparts, these are also super cute and kid-approved. (My 5-year-old loved making one alongside me!)

Let's Weave some Paper Turtles!
1. Let's cut out a shell. Take a piece of colorful paper and fold it in half. Cut out half of a shell.
2. Cut slits from the folded edge upwards. Make sure you don't cut all the way to the edge.
3. Open up your shell and slide your strips of paper through. (You could always cut your own strips of paper, but we had a ton of these Pre-Cut Strips of Colorful Paper from star making, so we just used those. The colors were gorgeous and it was great not having to cut stips out ourselves.)
4. Once you're done, tape (or glue down the strips.) Then, trim them off!
5. Cut out four legs and one head shape.
6. Glue (or tape) the legs and head onto the shell.
7. Add details and you're done!
Happy making, friends!
