Conker webs

Using some of the conkers we collected yesterday we weaved conker webs today.

What we did:

Choose a nice, big conker.

Using a skewer pierce eight holes evenly around the edges of the conker.

Stick cocktail sticks in these holes. Trim off the pointy edges.

Choose your yarn, tie it onto a cocktail stick and off you go.

Under the next stick, over the top and to the next one.  Continue like this round and round and change yarn colour if you want to as you go along.

If you don't have horse chestnuts in your area, or  something similar, you could always try weaving ojos de dios if you haven't come across this before.
