 Basket Weaving
You will need:
• plastic bowl
• red, green, white and black yarn
• scissors

Directions:
1. Prepare your basket base by cutting between four and six even slits from
the top of the bowl to the base (the flat part), making sure to leave a few
centimetres uncut at the bottom to keep the shape of the bowl.
2. Cut a metre-long piece of yarn for each of the yarn colors.
3. Tie the red yarn piece to one of the sections of the bowl.
4. Begin weaving in and out of the slits, continuing until the red piece
runs out.
5. Once you have finished weaving the first piece, attach the green yarn by
tying it to the red yarn piece and weave on.
6. Continue this process with the white and black yarn until the basket
is complete.
