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????
