How to Weave a Tissue Box Basket

Prepare Materials for Weaving

  • 1). Cut seven 22-inch-long pieces of 1/2-inch flat reed for the horizontal spokes.

  • 2). Cut nine 18-inch-long pieces of 1/2-inch flat reed for the vertical spokes.

  • 3). Cut eight 16-inch-long pieces of 1/2-inch flat reed for the filler pieces.

  • 4). Cut eight 40-inch-long pieces of 1/2-inch flat reed for the weavers.

  • 5). Cut two 40-inch long pieces of 1/2-inch flat reed for the rim of your basket.

  • 6). Use a very long piece of cane to lash the rim of your basket. Soak the cane in water until you are ready to use it. It takes cane a bit longer to become pliable than reed.

  • 7). Find the center of each spoke and the filler pieces by placing the ends together and lightly marking the middle with a pencil on the wrong side. To find the wrong side - bend a piece of soaked reed; the wrong side will be rough and splintery.

  • 8). Soak the reed in lukewarm water until pliable. This will help keep the reed from cracking while you work with it.
