This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Textiles.

For this BB, you will weave a leash!



Source:Tablet Woven Leash Instructions by Linda Hendrickson
Also check out Linda Hendrickson's Instrucational Videos and Instructions on her website or youtube!

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- weave a leash that is at least 3/4" wide and 2 yards long (Note: the above instructions are for a leash of 55" not the required 72")
- must have a handle
- must have a swivel snap bolt/hook or other appropriate hardware to attach the leash to a collar
- must use natural materials
- must use warp-faced weaving techniques like tablet weaving or backstrap

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or a video (less than two minutes):
- the loom and materials you're starting with
- the weaving in progress
- the finished leash - showing handle, attached hardware, and possibly a ruler or tape measure
