make PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. you'll need to lay out 5 reeds parallel to one another, with about 3/8ths of a space between them. weave a sixth reed perpendicularly through PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the other 5. bring PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the sixth reed over PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the first reed, under PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the second, over PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the third, under PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the fourth and over PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the fifth reed. weave 4 more reeds in this manner, making sure that they are parallel to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the sixth reed.
ensure that PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the squares formed by PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base weaving are no bigger than 3/8 inch (.9 cm).

split a center spoke. split one end of either PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the third or eighth spoke, starting where it comes out from under PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the last spoke to cross it. you will now have eleven spokes. you'll be putting PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the weaver into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the split.

weave PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. put PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the tapered end (PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the smaller end) of a weaver reed into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the split spoke and hold it in place with a clothespin. keep PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the weaver reed near PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket and weave, by going over one spoke and under PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the next.
if you're going for a square shape, hold PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base corners together with clothespins. this will help maintain PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the shape of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base.
continue to attach and weave new reeds through PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes for 3 or 4 rows, depending on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the desired height of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. each new reed should be stacked above PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the reed woven before it.
do your best to make PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the weave snug and tight, but not too tight or you can screw up PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. you, also, want to make sure that PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the weave isn't too loose.

foot PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base. this means closing up those square holes that are still in PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base. starting in PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the left corner of your basket, take PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the corner spoke and tug it gently. tug more firmly on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the second spoke. you want to tug quite firmly on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the middle spoke because this will create an arch in PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the bottom of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. move to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the 4th spoke and tug gently again.
straighten your spokes and repeat on all 4 sides of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket, until PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the holes in PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base are closed.

continue weaving. keep attaching and weaving new reeds through PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes. make sure that you don't pull too hard on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the corners, because that will make your spokes bend inward and you'll lose your basket's shape.
you also don't want your corners to be too loose, which can happen if you aren't keeping your spokes upright and parallel while you weave.
stop weaving once you've reached your desired height.

pack PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base. push or pull PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the woven rows down towards PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base as you weave. ensure that there is no space between PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base and PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the rows. start pressing or pulling from PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base and move up to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newer reeds as you go.
a properly packed basket should have a nicely arched base, straight, parallel spokes, properly spaced corners, and tight weaver rows.

finish PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the top of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. stop weaving your last reed after you have woven 4 spokes past PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the split spoke. taper PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the reed with scissors, moving from PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the fourth spoke to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the end of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the reed. weave until all of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the final reed has been woven into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes.

trim PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. cut PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes with scissors. PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes should be 1/2 to 2 inches (1.3 to 5 cm) higher than PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the last woven reed. fold PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes towards PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the inside of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket over PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the top row of reeds. insert PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the end of each spoke into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the third row from PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the top. ensure that each spoke lies flat against PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the inside of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket.

make PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the rim. you'll wrap a reed around PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the top row of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket and pin it to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket with a clothespin. now, anchor PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the new reed by weaving its bottom end into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the top few rows inside PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. this reed is called PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the lacer.
bring PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the lacer up and over PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the reed pinned to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket and insert it through PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the front of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the woven rows. now pull PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the lacer inside PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. continue wrapping PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the lacer around PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the pinned reed, circling PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the circumference of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket.
glue PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the end of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the lacer inside PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket.
weaving with newspaper
image titled make fruit basket step 11
make your newspaper sticks. you'll use these rolled up sections of newspaper as PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the spokes and weavers for your basket. get a thin stick, like a thin knitting needle or a pine skewer or 3mm dowel.
cut PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newspaper in half horizontally and then again horizontally.
place PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the stick at a corner of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the piece of newspaper at an acute angle to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newspaper. start rolling PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newspaper around PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the stick, making sure that you're doing so tightly.
when you've rolled it all PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the way to PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the other corner, glue it onto PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newspaper roll to hold it in place. remove PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the dowel or knitting needle. one end will usually be a bit narrower than PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the other on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newspaper sticks, but that's how it is supposed to look. when you're weaving you'll stick PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the narrower section of one newspaper stick into another to make them longer.

make PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the base. cut out two rectangular pieces of cardboard whatever size you want your basket to be. on one side of one of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the cardboard pieces, put double sided tape. lay out your newspaper sticks along PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the sides (you'll want to do about 13 on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the long side and 7 on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the short size).
always use an odd number of sticks when making your base.
use double sided tape on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the second piece of cardboard and press into place a piece of fabric, whatever color you'd like. put glue on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the side that won't be facing out and glue PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the two pieces of cardboard (one with PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the fabric and one with PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the sticks) together. put something heavy on them and leave to dry (about and hour).

begin weaving. start at one of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the corners. take a newspaper stick (a weaver) and fold it in half. thread it around PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the corner stick. using each half of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the weaver weave around PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the upright sticks, with one half of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the stick and PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the other half in back.
keep PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the upright sticks parallel to one another and pulled upright, and keep PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the weavers pulled tight. you don't want them too loose.
at PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the corners you'll want to do an extra twist (over and under) before continuing PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the twist down PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the next side.
image titled make fruit basket step 14
make PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the newspaper stick longer. as you reach PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the end of a tube, you'll need to add another stick to it, so that you can keep going. this is a lot easier than it sounds! all you have to do is insert PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the narrow end of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the second stick into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the first and push it in enough that it is secure.
image titled make fruit basket step 15
finish PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. once you've added rows until you've reached PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the height you want, it's time to finish PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket. this is very easy. cut PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the leftover upright newspaper sticks to about 1 inch (2.54 cm).
for every other upright stick you'll fold into down into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket and glue it in place. use a clothespin to dry it in place.
for PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the sticks you didn't fold into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket, you'll fold down on PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the outside and weave into PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the upper part of PVC Coating Utensil Wire Basket of the basket.

paint it. this is a completely optional step, as newspaper baskets look cool just as they are, but you can also paint them a color of your choosing. you could use a white acrylic paint and add a tinted varnish (which makes them look like a more 'authentic' basket), or you could use a bright, bold spray paint.
