Procedure
First let students choose one colour .Have them paint one side of the paper. Dry the paint with a hair dryer.Turn it over and have students choose another colour. Dry it again. Once the cardboard is dry ask students to cut out triangles on the edges of the paper ( not in the centre) . Have them variate it by not cutting out a complete zigzag pattern around the edges. Leave some spaces open.Next let students choose the type  of yarn or wool etc. and weave it across in diagonally. The end result will create  a zigzag spiderweb type of work. Let them leave some spaces open.Students can draw zigzag lines  with a marker in the open spaces.
