Materials

8" x 12" Oblong Base
14" Round Top Handle Easy Flex
5/8" Flat Flat - spokes
Fireside Embellishment Pkg.
(includes: 1/4"red ribbon, bow, greenery & gold glitter pipe cleaner)
 

#2 Round - twining
3/8" Flat Flat - weavers
Seagrass - rim filler
1/2" Flat Oval - rims
7mm Flat Flat - lashing

 

A Complete Kit Is Available

From 5/8" FF cut 32 spokes each 12" long. Soak briefly. Mark the center of the base at 6". With the smooth side down, insert a spoke at the center mark on the end of base and one on the other end. These will be the handle spokes. Evenly space 15 spokes on each side of the handle spoke. If the groove in your base is too narrow to insert the spokes, run sandpaper around the groove several times, and/or sand down the ends of each spoke (you want a tight fit). Gluing in the spokes is optional.

Twine 2 times around the base with #2R keeping the spokes flat. Then gently upset the spokes and twine 2 more times around. End off the #2R. Weave 15 rows start and stop using 3/8" FF. Pack well before cutting and tucking the spokes. Insert the handle. Position the 1/4" ribbon over the outside 1/2" FO, 1/2" FO inside, seagrass between the rims, and lash with 7mm FF.

I sprayed my basket with Clear Weaver's Stain which didn't have an effect on the ribbon. Attach the bow and greenery to the handle top using the gold glitter pipe cleaner. Decorate & fill as desired.

Warm wishes for a Happy Holiday!
