How to weave a small basket

The steps of weaving a small basket are as follows:

Step 1: Prepare wicker.

1, find a bundle of wicker. Baskets can be woven with many kinds of materials, such as soft reeds and branches, but wicker is usually chosen because baskets woven with it are very durable after drying.

2. Add some water to the wicker. In order to weave wicker, you need to water them to make them soft. Soak wicker in water for a few days until they can bend easily without breaking.

3. Cut the wicker used at the bottom of the basket. Find some wicker and put it at the bottom of the basket. Cut off eight wicker branches with the same length by pruning. The basket bottom made of willow branches can determine the circumference of the basket bottom.

4. Cut a long slit from the middle of four willow branches. First, put one of them on the workbench, and cut a 5 cm long hole vertically in the middle of the wicker with a sharp knife. The same is true for the other three, so there are four perforated three-poster doors in the middle of your basket.

5. Make the central part of the bottom of the basket. This is the foundation of the basket bottom. Arrange four wooden strips with cuts to juxtapose these cracks. In addition, find four wickers to pass through the gap and lay them vertically on the opened wicker.

Step 2: Weave the substrate.

1, insert two side bars. Now it's time to knit your basket! Find two slender wickers with similar length and insert them into the left side of the horizontal opening in the center of the basket bottom so that these wickers can extend outward to one side of a spoke.

2. Weave in pairs to reinforce the middle part of the bottom of the basket.

3. Separate the spokes. On the third lap, separate the spokes and form a circle at the bottom of the basket. At this time, there is no need to detour around the paired spokes. Separate the spokes and weave around each spoke in the same way.

Step 3: Weave the side.

1, surround the basket with piles. Choose eight medium-long three-post doors as the "piles" of the basket. That is, vertical wicker surrounds the side of the basket.

2. Make two rows with three willow branches. At this point, you need three willow branches to weave around the "pile" and locate it. Find three long and thin wickers, sharpen both ends and insert them on the left side of three consecutive "piles" at the bottom of the basket.

3. Add wicker to the side of the basket.

4. Weave the side of the basket.

5. Reinforce with three willow branches. Find three long and narrow wickers, sharpen both ends and insert them into the left side of three consecutive piles.

6. Grab the edge of the basket.

This kind of basket is woven. The above are the methods and steps of weaving small baskets, and the steps are more detailed. Through the above steps, a small basket is presented.
