The Bontoc have a tradition of cloth weaving. The background colors are dark, the favorite being blue. Geometric designs are diamonds, triangles, hexagons and zigzags. Representational designs are the dancing man or woman, stars, leaves, and rice paddies. These are woven in yellow, green, white and red threads. These designs are used in garments and blankets.

The traditional Bontoc house was made of wood or cogon grass. It was pyramid- shaped or A-shaped. It was small and had only one bedroom such that other members of the family could not be accommodated.

Aside from the bedroom, the traditional Bontoc house had another room with different divisions; kitchen, a space for dining and, at the same time, for receiving visitors; a space for some parallel piece of wood nailed together to serve as a multi-purpose table, below is a space for chicken coops, garden tools, gathered camote leaves, root crops, and baskets; a space above the bedroom is for pots, jars, native plates, wooden dipper and ladle. Since there was only one bedroom, the male teen-agers had to sleep in the ato while the female counterparts would go to the ulug.
