Little e and I spent an afternoon making baskets
last week.
I bought two basket making kits from a company
called Basket Making 101. The directions were good,
but occasionally confusing.
I have made woven baskets before, but it was when
I was a little older than Little e. I was impressed with
how many details of basket weaving I remembered.
The strips of willow still felt familiar in my hands.
This was an excellent project to do with Little e.
She did almost all of the weaving on the small rectangular
basket we made. I made the round one.
I would like to make more of these with her. Of course
what I need is another craft to fill my time and crafting
space. Happily, the supplies to make baskets are fairly minimal.
Hello, I am craft junkie. Can I make it with my hands?
I think I love doing it already.
