Creating 2x2 basket weave weave in Paper - A fabulous low investment before ruining the good

If you're just starting out its a good idea to create a test sample of a new weave structure. Using paper is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to go. I have also colored in graph paper - but then I get graphite all over my hand...this way you end with an attractive sample to keep for your records or hang on the wall. Basket weave isn't difficult or "special" but we'll always need it, and it can be remarkably versatile.
