Synopsis

Functional, decorative, and in a wide range of styles, there's nothing quite like a basket to hold fruit, vegetables, or candy; to make a bed for a pet; to organize items on a desk; or to wear as a hat or carry as a bag. Make your own, using this guide to all the basic materials, tools, and techniques. Whether you're interested in something superbly simple, like a rush box in a diagonal weave, or a beautifully intricate item like a spiraling cane bowl, there's a project to suit your skills and design sense. Choose from a rustic tray, with the aromatic scent of violet willows; a rush boater, to protect yourself from the sun; a dog basket; and an oval flower and vegetable basket, with a sisal rope handle. They're a pleasure to look at, and a pleasure to make!
