How to weave a basket

The method of weaving baskets is as follows:

1, you need to prepare some materials, including bamboo sticks, string or cotton thread, scissors, etc. Bamboo sticks are used as the skeleton of the basket, and the shell of the basket is woven with string or cotton thread. Let's build a basic basket frame with bamboo sticks first Tie four bamboo sticks together to form a diamond bottom.

2. Then, four bamboo sticks are tied together with the four bamboo sticks at the bottom to form a more stable structure. We can continue to add more bamboo sticks to make the frame of the basket stronger. Start knitting the outer shell of the basket. Choose a bamboo stick as the starting point, and pass the rope or cotton thread through this bamboo stick from top to bottom, and then through the next bamboo stick from bottom to top.

3. This completes the first knitting. We put the rope or cotton thread through the next bamboo pole from top to bottom, and then through the next bamboo pole from bottom to top. Repeat this process until we weave to the edge of the basket. When weaving to the edge of the basket, we need to fix the rope or cotton thread on the last bamboo stick.
