In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will create a Gift Card Basket — a charming and reusable way to present a gift card that can also be used later to hold holiday greens.
The basket is crafted with various widths of reed splint, and each student will choose two colors of dyed reed to accent their design. Measuring approximately 5” x 5” x 3” at the top (8” with handle), the finished basket will be completed with a festive Christmas ribbon.
Skills you’ll learn:
Twining a base
Weaving up the sides with a continuous weave
Finishing off the top
Inserting a handle
Lashing on a rim
Each participant will leave with a finished basket and a pattern to make more at home.
