How to Make the Basket
It doesn't take much to get started with making a basket. Here is a short list of steps on how you can make your own basket. If you haven't woven much before or need a refresher, you can follow a more detailed recipe on Basket Making Page our page.
Download and print the template above. A common template size is about 8 x 12 cm, but you can adjust the size as needed.
Choose two different colors of paper (glossy paper is recommended). Draw the template onto the paper and fold the paper in half. The bottom of the template should be along the closed side of the paper. Cut out the basket.
Weave the hearts by alternating the strips inside and outside of each other.
Cut out a handle and glue it inside the hearts.
