you can easily make one yourself. Take an old picture frame and put in screws/nail in frame all the way around...VOILA!! Your cheap weaving loom :-)

It looks like a board my brother had for making string art back in the seventies. It looks like wood with nails hammered into it, so it couldn't be too hard to make. I couldn't tell from the pics if you actually need the back open. If you don't you could just use a board

bubblefish, the back would need to be open so she can tie the threads where they cross. I located my hexagon loom and had to go buy wing nuts and bolts to hold it together because they have been lost sometime during the time it wasn't used. Also I carved a shuttle (for the yarn to tie with instead of using needle) because the shuttle has also been lost but the one I made works just fine. I wish I could find my instruction book for it tho because I don't remember exactly how to tie the cross pieces. The next job is to drag out all the tote boxes from my closet and look for that darn shuttle and instructions! It is driving me wild thinking about where they could be! If I was there I could make you a loom Larisa. I made a different one for myself and have made scarfs on it . I don't know how much it would cost to mail one to you..I have no idea! Anyway..Have fun making doilies. They are very pretty. XOXOXO
