Beginning with a small market basket, learn to build up two sides, add a fancy braided border and flower decorations if desired.  This basket is absolutely adorable.  Makes a great spring basket or small Easter basket.

One of our most popular baskets, this beautiful tote can go everywhere with you!  Strong and practical.  You’ll use it all the time.  Double shoulder straps woven through the basket reinforce it so the basket is strong enough to carry the heaviest load.  Weave it in the two or three colors of your choice.

Fruit stays fresh longer in a basket!  Learn the joy of making an entire basket with round reed (except for the colored trim in center).  Many different round reed techniques will be including in this basket.  The round reed spokes end in a beautiful braided border.  These are Eileen’s favorites.  Round reed gives you so much flexibility in making a basket in a variety of shapes.
