How To Weave... WITH WOOD!

I show you how to make a rattan weave! Arts, crafts, home decor, and weaving with wood all in one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Drew Scott / Lone fox Collab video: • DIY URBAN OUTFITTERS R...
What up! So today I'm going to show you how to make this rattan weave lil thing. Then I use the same techniques to make this wood weave picture overlay.
First a huge thanks to Drew Scott/Lone fox for helping me with the Collab. ( He was the brains behind the collab) I'll show you how to make the rattan weave sheet, and he is going to show you what to do with them🙌🏻
First take an old picture frame. You will be drilling holes in it that are the same size or a lil bit bigger than 3/4''. You'll be using dowels that are 3/4" to hold the reed in place. (later in the video I show you how to weave using scotch tape instead of holes... so that is an option too)
I made the holes in the frame 1" apart and the reed was 1/4" wide.. that made the holes in the wave 3/4"... so the math there is what ever size you want the hole to be.. add the width of the reed to that, and the number you get is how far apart you should make your holes (how far apart each reed is in the weave). Hopefully that makes sense...
I then cut the dowels into 1.5" pieces.. and to help them go into the holes I tapped on side of it (did that with the pencil sharpener).
So to begin the rattan weave you will want to soak your reed in water for like 5-10 minutes--That will help the reed bend with out breaking...
Start by making horizontal--horizontal meaning left to right--lines with the reed going from hole to hole. Then make vertical stripes over the top of the horizontal ones. Then you will make another layer of horizontal ones that go over the top of Both of those.
On that third layer... its going horizontal like the first layer.. but you don't want it to lie directly on top. Make sure they are all on one side (upper or lower side). I put mine on the side that is closer to me (lower side).
Once those are done you will be doin a 4th layer that is vertical. again make sure they are all on either the right or left side of the other vertical layer of reed strips ( I put mine on the left). This is were you will do the first weaving part.
Do the opposite of the lower vertical strip. In my case the lower strips were first under then over the horizontal reeds... So on the new vertical reed it was first over then under... and you continued that pattern.
Next you will make the diagonal lines. Pick a corner and you will be weaving over the two horizontal reeds and under the two vertical ones. I started on the top left and worked my way down in a zig zag type pattern.. over under over under...
You continue that until you have all the diagonal weaves done ( a good way to check that is to see if the lil circles/square spaces have the top right corner and bottom left corner covered by the diagonal reads.
You'll then do the opposite diagonal line. You'll be doing the same thing only switch... so if you were going over the two horizontal reeds you will now be going under and same goes for the two vertical reeds...
On mine I start on the bottom left.. it doesn't really matter where you start, It was just easiest for me to start in a corner...
This diagonal reed should cover the two corners on the square that are still open..
once you are all done... because we are just cutting it out of the loom and not weaving it to a chair.. add some type of glue (I used super glue) to the edge weaves so it will stay together.
once the glue dries... You can cut it out:)
So I got 1000 ft reed off of amazon and made about 1,400 square inches of the weave... so if my math is right. with every foot of reed you can make 1.4 square inch of reed.
So.. if you just want one 20" x 24" sheet.. You'll need like 350 feet of reed.
Here is the link to the reed I got off amazon:
265 feet of reed: amzn.to/2mKL7Ha
1000 feet of reed: amzn.to/2mLnLkQ

i love how you show every time you mess up instead of cutting it out

[@Shmoxd]

Thanks:) I mess up lots so.. for sure will have more to come

[@VanitysGunn]

Me too! It honestly makes the process more interesting to watch. I love seeing how trial & error shapes the final project. It’s nice to see some one make amazing art & know they don’t get it right every time. I know it helps me take more risks & now take failures so much to heart.

[@MG-gw8wb]

kov3ly i was just thinking about that

[@TheWitchvortex]

messing up is a crucial part of learning something new. Love these videos

[@withwendy]

This is part of what makes me love KZbin so much

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Always impressed by your ability to take such a variety of art techniques and adapt them into something you love! I could take some notes, haha.

dude.. I've said it once I'll say it again. you're the biggest sweet heart! 🥰

[@andenp8233]

Pro tip from a fellow weaver: I've never worked with Aspen bark, but many weaving materials benefit from being dried completely first and then soaked until they become flexible again right before weaving. Some materials do fine if you weave them fresh, but many shrink or become brittle. Just figured I would share, since you've taught me so much- for instance, the effectiveness of super glue when dealing with baskets/weaves that will not cooperate, haha :) beautiful stuff, keep it up!

[@Shmoxd]

ahhh wish I would have done that! thanks for the tip:)

why did I read "how to weave with food?" edit: no but fr, my mom has these old chairs that are really f*cked up but she really loves them, and they have this weaved wood on them and this video is literally telling me I should fix them myself. Thanks, bro, I think she's going to like that 😆

[@gingerbreadisnice3862]

I'm excited for the skull weaving, it's getting to be fall!

[@ezra55595]

Dude! You totally should! I remember breaking a few as a kid and feeling SUPER bad because they cost a fortune to have re-caned for you, and of course the internet was in its infancy, so there weren’t nearly as many free learning resources! It’s a good thing the pattern is complex but not difficult or confusing. Just time consuming!

[@StephMichelleXx]

In my theatre department a kid spend half the term doing 4 chairs for a show in between his classes 😆

[@Sque_ze]

You read it like that cause your hungry.

[@Shmoxd]

part craft boy part psychic...

[@pythiacael3876]

well, you made me more aware of how my neighbor do his job for furnitures (rocking chair, chairs, tables, beds, etc). I also see him pass the rattan through homemade holes in a metal sheet (similar to cheese grater) to make sure all of the lengths are same width and doesn't have splinters, also he taps the second rattan to make the gaps smaller and tighter. I believe he also swipe the rattan with candle wax to make the weaving easier and faster. I always see him working on old furnitures that need the rattan/reeds replaced and sometimes with new furnitures for his clients. nice vid.

[@Jmpwfdpdl]

i love your videos so much. my mood totally shifts from like frantic chaos to chill calm vibes as soon as i flip on one of your videos. and your editing and film style is so fun and creative. keep doing what your doing!!!! (:

Very cool colab. Very inspiring. I needed to cane a one hundred plus year old rocker that I inherited. Perfect timing. You also will save me a ton of money, because I will just weave directly onto the furniture now. The tip of gluing the edges while weaving on the frame is a great tip. Love the homemade pegs. Love you for sharing. Thanks.
