I am so happy with this!  This is now one of my favorite pages!  I used six sheets of double-sided paper from K&Comany's Urban Rhapsody design. There are a total of 12 one-inch strips weaved together here.  I used a variety of eyelets and ribbons.  The title is from Stamping Solutions and the dragonfly on the left is too.  The other dragonfly is from Home Decor.
On the right you can see the one-inch strips I cut. I started the weave from the bottom and left side of the 12x12 (and I did them on a blank 12x12. I used a glue dot runner to adhere the strips.  I only glued the strips along the four edges of the 12x12 and I only glued the bottom strips so that I could manipulate the rest of the strips and tighten them as I went along. The weave was tight enough that I didn't need to glue any of the center strips down.
This is the result of my weaving.  I had to trim the top some...but since this was my first time trying this and not really knowing what I was doing...I'm not too upset that it isn't perfect : )
This is after I added the eyelets and ribbon.  I have my cuts ready to be placed on my page...just trying to figure out where I want them.  It was hard to even put them on there since I love the way the weave looks!!!
I placed an eyelet on the top/center of each 1x1 square and I used a different color eyelet in each one.
