Material selection

The material must be durable:

• If you are new to this business, then it is best to use a regular newspaper, which is the best solution.
• More experienced craftsmen should pay attention to the sheets from the diary. Usually they are quite durable and able to withstand deformation.

Bottom

Let's start creating such a basket with weaving the bottom:

1. To do this, you will need longer tubes. Make them simple - push one into the other and fix with glue.
2. Lay two such tubes in parallel. Glue two parts on top so that they are centered.
3. Weave another five to seven tubes into the hole in the center of the star, depending on the diameter.
4. Starting from the first, weave the bottom.
5. Remember to use glue to make the bottom solid.
6. The ends must be hidden and secured inward.

That way you should get a bottom.

Walls

Next, we proceed to create the walls. It is necessary to raise the vase up, because it cannot consist of only one bottom.

Important! If you plan to create a high vase, you must use wooden guides so that the structure does not deform.

Make loops through which weaving will pass. Gradually increase the height of the walls.Once the basket is woven, hide the protruding ends inward.

Important! As for the form, it can of course be standard, but remember that non-trivial solutions are now in fashion.
