Weave in wonder Easy techniques to create beautiful baskets
Turn nature’s bounty into rustic decos with basic weaving techniques
One of the oldest crafts in the world, weaving is also one of the easiest. At least when it comes to basket making! You don’t need any special tools or skills, just the simple techniques for interlacing branches and vines that have been used for millennia. And there’s usually a great supply of basket-making materials in your own backyard – it’s the ultimate upcycling of your garden prunings! Add in a few items you probably already have, or can pick up at the hardware store, such as natural twine and plant ties, and you’re ready to weave your way to bespoke baskets.
