I decided to make another basket last weekend. I got a bit braver and decided to make a candle basket from a basket I already had. I guess once you know the basics of basket weaving you don't really need a specific pattern. Its not quite the same height as I would have like it but I think its cute anyway. I even dyed the red reeds. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to stain the basket but will post it if I do. This little candle/scissor basket measures about 6" high without the handle.
So here it is.
Now on to a bigger one with a handle, stay tuned.....................

What a cute little basket. I'm looking forward to seeing your next one.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter took a course in Japanese basket making at the N.B. Craft school of Design a few years ago. It was beautiful.
Have a nice week.
