Woven Basket The weaving of baskets can be traces back thousands of years ago. Traces of baskets have been found in the Egyptian pyramids, and woven basket liners have left their impressions inside the fragments of ancient pottery. As soon as humans were able to plait fibres together, they began to experiment with structures for woven containers. Woven Baskets can be craft from many different materials such as rattan, bamboo, paper and etc.
crafting process First, prepare strips of paper to weave your basket. Use three sheets of 8.5" x 11" construction paper. On the sheet of paper to become the base of your basket, draw a horizontal line 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) from the top and another one 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) from the bottom. These lines will help when laying out the base. Then cut the paper lengthwise into strips .5" wide. Choose one sheet of a neutral colour of construction paper like brown, black, or white. This will be the base of your basket. The other two sheets can be any colour of your choice. This will form the decorative sides of your basket. Next, weave the base of your basket. Lay out 8 strips of paper next to each other so that the lines on each strip are face up and form one continuous line. Starting at the top line, weave another strip of the same colour through the strips you've laid out, over one strip and under the next. Centre the strip horizontally with respect to the strips you laid out. Using another strip of the same colour, weave it through the strips in the opposite way from the first one, so that this one will go underneath the strips that the first one you weaved went on top of.
crafting process Then slide the strips together, making sure the edges line up. Repeat with a total of eight strips. Fold up the strips sticking out the sides of the basket. Each side should come up to the same height. After that, weave a strip of coloured paper between the now vertical strips of the base, folding it to fit around the corner of the basket. Repeat the above step with another strip of the same colour. Make sure to alternate between going under and on top of strips, so that you create a checkerboard pattern with the strips from the base. Keep repeating until you reach the top. Finally, finish and polish off your basket. Tape or glue the ends of the base strips to the top woven strip. Then tape or glue a slightly wider strip of the base colour to the top of the basket on the inside, laying it on top of the vertical strips. Add a similar panel on the outside of the basket, securing it to the inside one as well as the outside of the basket and your basket is done.
