r/BasketWeaving

Made primarily from Dandelion. The core was made from cordage, first from Soft Rush and then from Dandelion. I'm going to continue a bit so it gets a little higher.

I'm not a weaver, actually a metalsmith. I have baskets that my mom collected. I know nothing about them, and value them for sentimental reasons. The smallest basket has a broken rim. I'm looking for repair advice. I was thinking Kintsugi style with a strip of nickel silver, but I want to avoid further damage. Even if she got them at the dollar store, I'd like to display them.

Any advice for materials to use for lashing a split to the rim? Any images of clever display methods? I am considering a wire / acrylic structure that can display them partially stacked on a shady shelf in my dining room.

Thanks for your help.

Mixed materials with grape hoops and willow spokes, woven with reed, cattail, and nettle rope (that I also made). My first basket in almost 15 years! I studied Fibre Arts in uni and miss this craft the most. I can’t wait to improve my skills. Everyone’s creations here are so inspiring! Keep up the beautiful work.

Ummm so yeah….we inherited an absolute plethora from MIL of Longaberger baskets…and stuff.

Little baskets….big baskets…baskets in baskets…Halloween Baskets…Xmas Baskets…every kind of basket.

I’m at a loss….eBay looks like the most profitable option but I feel like it would be a full time job.

And the worst thing….this is only about half of them 😂

Imagine having these set of 4 handwoven in Rwanda coasters from natural materials with passion and love their quality is impeccable and they can be given as gifts too. since they are woven from natural materials they 100% natural and eco-friendly, what do you think of them?

This isn’t my normal technique and honestly I started this project based off of intuition and the little bits I’ve picked up on through research. It started off really well, but I feel like now it’s starting to kinda go to crap…? maybe I just need to embrace the chaos though and keep going?

this is made out of morning glory vine and I wove with them fresh (yes I know that they shrink as they dry but I don’t care for this project and I wanted to experiment with that) the first picture has fresh(er) morning glory woven onto the dried morning glory

also.. I don’t know how to connect new pieces of vine, I’ve been tucking the old bits into the new before starting twining like I would on a basket woven with reed but it doesn't feel right and I lose tension/control in that section. any advice is helpful, thank you!

ive included pictures of the start of this project as well so you can see the progression

This is just a follow up basket that was an attempt to make a mini mini basket to go alongside the larger one in the background. Kinda cute.

It's woven from common rush harvested from a roadside ditch in the country. The weave is a bit loose and the fit a little large but I don't hate it. It was my first time working with rush and I think I like it a lot as a weaving material. It's strong and flexible.

What do you think of this 14" flat basket with beautiful colors made in Rwanda from natural materials, sisal and grass which makes it eco-friendly and good for interior design and hoe decorations. It has hooks thus makes it easy to hang it in every direction, we also make custom designs either colors or sizes. like it? let us know

these Trays are handwoven using natural materials called ubuhivu and a golden shiny thread. It is a set of three (12,14,16 inches). They can surely be used to serve drinks and other things since they have strong handles to hold onto and carry, they are also good for decor and since they are made natural materials they eco-friendly.

This is part of a heating mantle used for holding glass round bottom flasks. It appears to have the heating element hidden inside a coiled fiberglass tube. The weaving (or stitching?) holding the coil in place is also using fibreglass thread. Would anyone here recognise what type of weave pattern has been used to hold the coiled tube together? I'm guessing they've used this pattern to create some spacing between each row of coil. Unsure why commercial heating mantles typically use this pattern or what it is called.

Any information into the aforementioned areas would be great. Thank you so much !!
