[RTORREZ1000]

thk you for a easy weaving happpy new year

[emilyhale27]

what size gap do you leave between each peice of reed? I have 1/2 inch reed.

[basketmasternancy]

@emilyhale27 The base of this basket measures 7" x 5" so I just have the reed evenly spaced to create a base of that size. The spaces are approximately 3/8" square.

Where did you get the reed???

[CheeseChuckie]

you guys should go for a holliday in zanzibar... then go on a spice tour.... now that is weaving like a king... the guy made a frog... then a basket... then a hat.... and then a tie for me.... he did this all in about 3minutes while we were walking and all he used were a few leaves and a knife.... while we were walking by the way.... he didnt stop and sit down... oh another thing... he was about 11 years old :)

@joyo2009 I live in Mexico, and a lot of people here weave baskets. They even do shapes such as burros with carts or swans. You can use paper as thin as newspaper. One trick is to roll up the newspaper as tight as possilbe. Use small dabs from a glue gun to hold these together. These are used to weave your projects. The trick to keeping them sturdy is using a stain/varnish combination. You can add lace around the edges also with the glue gun. With varnish, they are washable. Helpful? Darren

Hope this helps.

[MW2player50]

where do you get the flat reed?

[imbord231]

Where do you find a spoke weight? I have been searching the internet and I always get bike stuff. Is there another name for it?

[imbord231]

where do you find a spoke weight. when ever I look for it online it always gives me bike stuff. Is there another name for it?

[esiotrot17]

Wow, thanks for uploading, this is great.

I was wondering.. I have some extra hickory bark from weaving a seat for a chair.. do you think hickory bark is a suitable material for one of these basket?

[digdugdiggy]

Where do you get the reeds? Which plants are suitable for basket weaving?

[Bandit99801]

Good job!

[tjinga2u1]

thank you for the vidio =D

[sylviasvideosfyi]

Nice video!

[PlanetJill]

You are an incredible teacher -- so quiet and thorough....it's a pleasure to watch and learn from you. I have boxes of reeds, etc., that I purchased years and years ago determined to learn on my own. I can watch you and get tips and instruction that I would never have been able to get in the past. I'm somewhat homebound and cannot take regular classroom classes...THANK YOU! Jill

[rmf88]

you truly are the basket master

keep up the awesome videos

ill be tuning in

[joyo2009]

Hi!!would it be possible to use recycled paper?I have lots of magazine here I was thinking to try making basket using paper.

[basketmasternancy]

I have seen baskets made from paper but I haven't tried doing that myself. I would google paper baskets and hopefully you will get some good advice. I think you need to use several layers of paper or use a medium with the paper to make the paper more substantial.

HTH!

Nancy

[violinist881]

@joyo2009 you could roll papers to make

[frigga13]

I've been wanting to find someone to teach me how to weave my own baskets..so THANK YOU soo much for posting this, no i can run out and get the materials to get started..you are truly an amazing artist:)

[BobbyIronsights]

Thanks Nancy, what thickness stakes are you using?

[basketmasternancy]

They are 5/8" flat reed.

Nancy

[NancyToday]

I've never heard of a spoke weight before! Interesting. You sure put those reeds in perfectly the first time! Imagine having put them in at the right measurements on the first try! You're a pro, for sure! 

btw, you can edit on youtube, once you have them up, you can add little comments which will show up on the screen.

[PalmOliveSoap]

thank you nancy,

[basketmasternancy]

Yes. Doing a round basket is planned for a future video. Thanks for watching!

Nancy

[Jodiebirdinabocks]

Thanks for this video. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to make a round-based basket?
