Thanksgiving Placemat

   I made nice placemats for decoration for Thanksgiving. It's takes quite a bit of time. I made one in 45 minutes. 

              MATERIALS
       -2 pieces of brown paper
       -orange paper
       -green paper
       -yellow paper
       -red paper
       -scissors (or cutting board)
       -tape



   Step 1) cut out the brown paper into 11     strips. (Use a cutting board if possible)
   Step 2) do the same to each colored paper but cut them the taller way (only 3 orange, 3 yellow, 3 red, 2 green)
   Step 3) tape brown strips onto brown paper
   Step 4) weave colored strips through brown strips that are taped down.
   Step 5) tape the strips once done
   Step 6) repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have used up all your strips!
