    Things You'll Need
    Loom
    Sturdy thread for the warp that is small enough to fit through the holes in the pegs
    Weft material, this could be rags, wool roving, or yarn scraps
    Scissors


    Instructions
    1
    Cut the warp threads to three times the length of the finished piece. You need one warp thread for each peg on the loom.


    2
    Remove a peg from the loom and thread the warp through the hole. Pull it through until you reach the middle of the thread. Replace the peg in the hole on the loom. Repeat this for each peg. Let the warp hang loose.


    3
    Knot the cut ends of the warp of the first three pegs, that is six threads. Put the knot about 4 inches from the cut end. Repeat until all the threads are knotted. These knots keep the weaving from slipping off the end of the warp.


    4
    Weave the weft material around the pegs. On the first row, start a couple of pegs from the edge to hide the end in the material. When you get to the opposite end, wrap the material around the last peg, and weave the material back the other way. Keep weaving this way until the pegs are covered.


    5
    Remove three pegs from the loom, and pull the warp through to the knot. Replace the pegs in the loom. Repeat with all the pegs. Repeat steps four and five until there is about 6 inches of warp uncovered.


    6
    Remove a peg from one end of the the loom. Cut the warp, leaving enough thread to make a knot. Repeat with two more pegs, and knot the warp together. Put the knot close to the last row of weaving. Repeat with all the pegs. Trim the tassels evenly on both ends.
