- In those areas where there will be windows, doors, weaving unfolds and resumes in the opposite direction.
- A window is a non-woven rectangular section, in which a vertical column passes and a bundle of interwoven tubes passes horizontally.
- The two walls of the house should be short so that the roof lies evenly, and the other two walls should end in a triangle shape.
- To make a roof, weave a rectangle using the same technique and bend it in half, and then glue it to the walls of the house.
- It is better to secure the edges of the tubes with glue after you have trimmed them with scissors. This will make the structure more durable.
