Share a Basket Sunday - Cutlery Basket or Silverware Basket


I designed this basket to fit a divided wooden insert that I had. The base is woven with fillers so it is solid and the insert just sets in the basket. I used a #1 round space dyed reed to create the cross stitch pattern around the basket. It's perfect for those 4th of July picnics that are coming up.
Have a blessed Sunday,
Nancy

  2. I love all your baskets (as well as your YouTube videos), and I especially love this particular basket! I'd like to make something like this for the silverware in my dining room, and for self-serve parties. Did you buy the the internal compartment as one unit, or did you build it yourself?

  3. The wooden divider was purchased as a unit and just sits on the base of the basket. I wove the basket to fit around this divider. The divider had to be in place before I could finish the basket with the handle. Once the handle is in place, there is not enough room to slip the divider into the basket. Go to your favorite basket supply shop and search for dividers and you should come up with several to choose from.
    Blessings,
