Hi Friends,
This is a basket that I designed to hold a package of hamburger or hotdog buns.
I chose this basket to show you today because if you are like us, you have plans to be outside cooking on the grill having hotdogs, hamburgers, potato salad, three bean salad, fruit and chocolate cake. Any of you having something similar?
The base is started as usual but then an additional "X" is woven into the base. It is then twined for 7 rows around the bottom of the basket. What this does is it makes the corners curved rather than sharp 90 degree angles so the package of buns fit in here perfectly. The decorative "X's" on he outside of the basket in navy blue are short pieces of 1/4" flat reed inserted into the navy blue weavers after the basket is woven.
I hope all of you have an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.
Baskets of Blessings,
Nancy

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! Hmm..... I may just have to borrow your idea for myself! ;)

Have a great holiday, Nancy (and Julie)!!
