Woven Memory Basket
Weave your vacation road maps into an attractive
souvenir.
BY JANE PATRICK
Think of basketry as three-dimensional weaving. If you
ever wove paper as a child, that’s the basis for this
plaited basket. You begin by weaving a flat base, and
then upturn the strips (called stakes or weavers) to make the
sides, in what is referred to as bias plaiting. You’ll be surprised
by how sturdy your paper basket will be.
Baskets can be called a true handcraft because almost any
basket you’ll see anywhere in the world has been woven by hand.
It’s one craft they just haven’t learned to make well by machine.
This project repurposes maps from your travels to weave a
practical, attractive basket full of memories of trips taken and
experiences had along the way.
