Introduction: Making "cards" for Weaving
I made it at Techshop (techshop.ws)
Card weaving can be done with many kinds of "cards". I've only used playing cards so far, but they always wear around the holes. I figured wooden ones would work better. I also wanted to make 6 sided cards to try.

Step 1:
Started with a very thin wooden board bought at the local craft store.
Step 2:
Created and uploaded the file. (I don't know how to add files or make them available so if you let me know I'll send you the file)
I had some square ones on there too.

Step 3:
settings for the laser.
Step 4:
Print the cards. (I used inside out on vector settings so the cards wouldn't move around while the small holes were being cut out)
Step 5:
The cards came out without a hitch. However those little circles were the same size as the holes in the table and a few were not easy to get out while cleaning.
Step 6:
I don't think I will need to sand the edges. (But I might just so I don't catch the yarn) I'm going to maybe put a little light stain and maybe a clear to finish them off.
Now I just have to figure out how to weave with them.......Anyone know any good instructables for that????
