I googled it on the internet and watched a video on stick weaving from You Tube. It looks very easy. Give it a try!

This is called stick weaving and you can also use multiple sticks. Many cultures did this sort of weaving, even our Native Americans. Very easy and a definite different craft. You can make cords, straps, pouches and even place mats.
