| 2 Look closely. The cuts in this loom start at the left and run diagonally upward and to the right. When weaving, weave over-under-over, but from the top to the bottom. I find it best to glue down the right edge of the loom to the card front so it is stable and easier to weave. I usually glue the ends of every other weaving strip.

| 3 As you can see in the scan, the weaving is less formal and a bit serendipitous. I left the tips of the final strips so you can see how I wove the strips. Once the strips are glued securely and dry, I then trim off the excess.

| 4 Stamp the Haiku Bunny or whatever image you choose. Enlarge the photo and you can see that the loom is created by cutting zig-zag lines from the bottom of the bunny image toward the top. Glue the cut loom at the top to the card front and weave. I chose to use yarn, ribbon and cardstock strips so you can see the variety. Once woven, glue the strips down and trim off the excess.

| 5 Here is the finished bunny. You can see that I trimmed off one of the red strips to expose his eye. I mounted the stamped image on red, then on white. The card front is covered with bunny washi and the last step was adding the ribbon on the left edge to match the ribbon in the weaving.*

| 7 If you look closely, you can see that the weaving, instead of going left to right, goes from the bottom to the top. Cut your loom from left to right and it will create a weaving the is done from the bottom like the zig zag Haiku bunny.

| 8 The finished weaving was glued to pink cardstock, then onto black. The card front is covered with pink and gold washi fans. I added a pink tassel because I had it. LOL
