The following section will also be woven in pairing using thread, but this time you want to begin your weaving at the open edge of your bird cage door (the stake beside the doubled stake on the left of your door as you are looking at your weaving). Instead of weaving around the sides of the cage, you will loop your thread over the edge of the wire that makes the opening edge of the door, weave across the door and around to the doubled stakes that mark the door edge beside the opening door, and weave back around again, so that you do not weave continuously around the side of the cage. By weaving back and forth, instead of around and around, you will leave one edge of the door free of weaving so that it can be opened eventually. (See Photo.)
If you wish you can do as I did, and weave the base section of the door separately, except for a bit at the top where you weave a hinge that joins the door to the sides of the cage. As the weaving will naturally form a hinge (provided you leave one edge of the door free and don't weave around and around your sides) you don't need to weave the door base separately the way you can see in the photo. Just make sure one side of the door is not woven to the rest of the bird cage sides.
If this is confusing, see the next several steps to work out how the door is made and cut free to swing on the side.
