More details about making and warping a cardboard loom:
To make a cardboard loom, cut your cardboard to size, about 2 ¼ " x 3". Mark the top and bottom of the short ends every ¼ ". Then cut a notch about 1/4" deep at each mark using scissors. You will have eight cuts on the top and eight on the bottom.

Beginning at the top left, tuck the end of the thread into the first notch, leaving a tail on the back. Wrap your warp thread around the loom, going from the top to bottom of the loom. End the warp thread at the top of the loom leaving a tail in the back. To create rya knots (fringe), cut 12 pieces of yarn about 5 inches in length.
