BEGINNERS GUIDE TO BASKET WEAVING
A complete guide needed to start the craft of basket weaving
This is the practice of sewing or weaving pliable materials into three-dimensional items, such as baskets, mats, mesh bags, and furniture, (this is also known as basketry or basket making). Basket makers and basket weavers are terms used to describe craftspeople and artists who specialize in creating baskets. Any flexible or fibrous material that can bend and take shape can be used to make basketry. Pine, straw, willow, oak, wisteria, forsythia, vines, stems, animal hair, hide, grasses, thread, and fine wooden splints are some examples. From basic mats to hot air balloon gondolas, basketry has a wide range of uses.
