When I get old I want to make baskets out of sticks like this lady
Nice video, but I could not learn basket weaving from it.
I’ve never actually tried basket weaving, I honestly think I would end up weaving all my fingers together in the process lol x
nice, but if only you would show us how to make it.
Beautiful… Thanks For uploading
thanks for this!!!
Amazing skills
A wonderful presentation that whets the whistle for this time-honored tradition. Thank you.
I'm not trying to advertise, but I know another video that looked like a similar way to build a basket as this one, but using blackberry bramble. It's instructional and I enjoyed it so, I'm going to share it with the audience who wants a more instructional video.
