As it name depicts, a mat

tape can be very well used
to weave beautiful mats.
Materials Required:
The method which Im going
1.Plastic Wire (Basket Making Wire). For making one ring of 1 inch diameter requires 34 inches
to do today is very traditional and it is been in practice for many many years
of length to be very exact. Also you can make a bigger or smaller ring, accordingly you have to
increase or decrease the length of this wire.

3. Wrap the wire around the cylinder one more time, this time bring the free end under the short
end. This will look like Roman number IX if you are doing it right!

4. Now insert the free end to top right of the X form. Refer the picture below.
5. At this stage, the ring looks like this. For now on it gets more interesting! So I have marked
the wire on the left side with Red Marker and the wire on the right with Dark(Blue or Black)
colored marker.
6. Now pull the red marked wire and bring it over the blue marked wire to form a X.
When slightly roll the cylinder, the ring looks like this.

7. Now insert the free end into the blue marked wire by passing over the red marked wire.
When you slight roll the cylinder towards you, ring will resemble the following picture. [Please
ignore my sticky tapes those helped me to hold these wires in one position] I have
continued the markings(Red & Blue) here as well.
8. Insert the free end into the blue wire, below the short end.
After inserting, it looks like thisWith this we are completing the first round. Like this we have
to finish 3 more rounds to get a firm ring!
9. Now I am color coding the wires before I start the second round. The wire from where the free
15/04/2016 3:51 CH

end comes out is marked as blue and to the wire where this blue wire is inserted next is marked
as red.
By following this blue wire closely and insert the free end to the blue wire by passing over the
red wire. Adjust the free end wire in such a way it sits as close as to this blue wire. If my words
are confusing to you, then please refer the following diagrams.
Slightly tilt the cylinder towards you. and extend the color markings a little further as shown
below.
This step is more important as we will be repeating the same step, again and again on both
sides of the ring.
10. Once againfollow the blue wire and insert the free end in to it by over passing the red
marked wire.
15/04/2016 3:51 CH

Make sure that the free end wire sits very close to the blue wire otherwise, the proper shape will
not comesoon wires will overlap each other!
11. Once morecolor code the wires blue and redand insert the free end onto the blue by
jumping over the red one!

With this we are completing the second round and moving onto the third round!
12. Third round is same as the second round except for one thing! We need to insert the free
end into two wires including the blue wire whereas in the second round, it is just the blue wire.
When you closely observe the ring now, the blue wire goes through two wires, the top one is our
usual red wire. Underneath the red wire, there are two wires, one is being the blue wire. This is
visible clearly when you loosen the ring a little bit by pulling the wires a little further apart. Refer
the picture below.
13. Now insert the free end wire into the blue wire and the other wire by passing over the top red
wire.
15/04/2016 3:51 CH

Adjust and pull the wire so that it sits next to the blue wire as close as possible.
14. Repeat the same thing until you complete the third round.

One more time
With this we are completing the third round

15. In the fourth round, we have to insert the free end into three wires instead of two wires as in
the third round.

At this point, if you want, you can pull out the ring from the cylinder and complete the ring by
holding it in your hands
Repeat the same thing and complete the fourth round.
16. After completing this round, insert both the ends of the free end wire into inner circle of the
ring so that it doesnt show up on the outside. Alternatively, you can show the ends on flame and
paste them on the inside.

In the picture above, I have inserted the ends inside the rings inner circle. Thats all for the single
ring.
To make interlocked rings:
While wrapping the wire initially, we have to pass the wire through one completed ringrefer the
