May Your Life Be Like A Basket...Useful...Bountiful...Beautiful...

Basketmaster's Weavings is about my passions, much of which revolves around basket weaving. I weave with reed and I love teaching others to weave. Many of the patterns and styles that I show in the blog are geared to the beginning weaver, or even the brand new weaver. If you have been thinking about wanting to learn to weave, then this blog is for you. Throughout the blog and videos I take you step by step through each and every process of weaving. I want you to be successful in weaving the very first time you try. For the intermediate and advanced weaver, my wish is that you take ideas that I show, mix them up a bit, and incorporate them into your own beautiful creations.

Happy Weaving and Baskets of Blessings to all my visitors,

Nancy

Weave a basket for Easter

 

With Easter just around the corner, keep your eyes open for some small bunnies.  This is a blast from the past that I wove for my kitchen counter.  I had found this bunny, probably at Hobby Lobby or Michaels and then used a small bit of wire to attach it to the basket.  You could take off the bunny after Easter and replace it with other embellishments for other holidays.

Slanted baskets are fun to make.  Just don't weave the full way around the basket.  One tip, the best size of weavers to use are 1/4" or smaller.  The smaller the weaver, the more gradual the slant.  You can see in my basket that there is a gap between the weavers and the rim.  The smaller the weaver, the smaller the gap.

I hope you are all getting ready for Easter and enjoying the season.

Make it a great day everyone!

Nancy
