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

make Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the rim. you'll wrap a reed around Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the top row of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket and pin it to Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket with a clothespin. now, anchor Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the new reed by weaving its bottom end into Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the top few rows inside Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket. this reed is called Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the lacer.
bring Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the lacer up and over Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the reed pinned to Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket and insert it through Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the front of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket into Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the woven rows. now pull Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the lacer inside Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket. continue wrapping Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the lacer around Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the pinned reed, circling Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the circumference of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket.
glue Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the end of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the lacer inside Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving 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 Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving 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 Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the newspaper in half horizontally and then again horizontally.
place Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the stick at a corner of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the piece of newspaper at an acute angle to Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the newspaper. start rolling Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the newspaper around Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the stick, making sure that you're doing so tightly.
when you've rolled it all Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the way to Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the other corner, glue it onto Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the newspaper roll to hold it in place. remove Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the dowel or knitting needle. one end will usually be a bit narrower than Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the other on Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the newspaper sticks, but that's how it is supposed to look. when you're weaving you'll stick Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the narrower section of one newspaper stick into another to make them longer.

make Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the base. cut out two rectangular pieces of cardboard whatever size you want your basket to be. on one side of one of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the cardboard pieces, put double sided tape. lay out your newspaper sticks along Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the sides (you'll want to do about 13 on Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the long side and 7 on Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the short size).
always use an odd number of sticks when making your base.
use double sided tape on Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the second piece of cardboard and press into place a piece of fabric, whatever color you'd like. put glue on Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the side that won't be facing out and glue Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the two pieces of cardboard (one with Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the fabric and one with Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the sticks) together. put something heavy on them and leave to dry (about and hour).
image titled make fruit basket step 13
begin weaving. start at one of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the corners. take a newspaper stick (a weaver) and fold it in half. thread it around Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the corner stick. using each half of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the weaver weave around Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the upright sticks, with one half of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the stick and Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the other half in back.
keep Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the upright sticks parallel to one another and pulled upright, and keep Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the weavers pulled tight. you don't want them too loose.
at Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the corners you'll want to do an extra twist (over and under) before continuing Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the twist down Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the next side.
image titled make fruit basket step 14
make Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the newspaper stick longer. as you reach Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving 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 Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the narrow end of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the second stick into Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the first and push it in enough that it is secure.
image titled make fruit basket step 15
finish Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket. once you've added rows until you've reached Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the height you want, it's time to finish Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket. this is very easy. cut Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the leftover upright newspaper sticks to about 1 inch (2.54 cm).
for every other upright stick you'll fold into down into Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket and glue it in place. use a clothespin to dry it in place.
for Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the sticks you didn't fold into Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket, you'll fold down on Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the outside and weave into Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the upper part of Chips Mini Fry Baskets Stainless Steel Fryer Basket Strainer Serving of the basket.
