Special thanks to my son to writing and composing the music to help speed up the weaving. Here is a link to his channel- ruclips.net/channel/UCQyONjNbnrfttFuvBX-iFbg
Oh wow. I am going to try this with my grape vines. I make wreathes with them but never thought about baskets. I think your son did a great job on the music! What a gift!
Watching from the Philippines and I just wanna say that this is really helpful because we have yards full of vines and I need to find a creative way to get rid of those😂 Love the facts (especially the 'Philippines one') and the music...
Wonderful outcome and thank you for the clear video. I’m curious about how long it took you to do the actual weaving of the basket in non-time lapse time?
I'm using Muscadine vines (which looks like what you are using) and find them really stiff and hard to work with, and the thin parts tend to break easily. I first tried the technique somebody showed online where you take two sticks and slit them in the middle, add two other sticks inside those, add an odd number stick, and then weave around them. I found after several hours of trying that with a piece the thickness of licorice or slightly thicker the vine would not wrap close enough to make the bottom of the basket and that the added stick would not stay parallel to the two on either side, thinner, and it would break making the turns. What I ended up with is a hot mess I could not use, so I watched a few more videos using this type of vine and most people seemed to do a random weave technique. I then tried one of those, which although doable is very arduous ad stayed up all night to complete just the bottom and a little of the sides. Watchin yours where you lay the spines on top of each other and then weave looks like it will be easier but how do you et your vines flexible enough to sit right net to each other when you weave a round? Do you soak them? Also, I must have missed the part where you added a spine to make an odd number. How did you do that? Did you add an extra making 12 and cut one end off later after doing some weaving?
Thanks for sharing. May I suggest you that you focus more on the initial stage, doing it slower and focus the camera on the part where you start the vertical parts. Otherwise very instructive and again thanks for sharing
If you live in the SouthEast, you can use Kudzu as well. I used vines from my yard, however, I see vines all over that can be used. Just make sure to get permission first.
I've not tried them yet even though I do have them in my yard. They did not seem to be thick enough but they might work out. Let us know how your basket turns out.
We agree and plan to release a newer verion soon. My son was in 7th grade when he composed and edited that video. I think was good that they time but we do plan to improve it.
For those that would like help in identifying the vines (and any other plants) you are looking at, "Plantnet' is a fantastic app. It's free with no ads. Occasionally they will ask for donations (which is well worth it), but it's not often enough to be annoying. To ID a vine, plant, tree, etc. just open the app, take 1 (or more) pictures of the leaves, flowers, stems, etc. and hit search. It's very accurate (but I wouldn't bet your life on it) and gives several suggestions of similar plants. I've seldom seen it be wrong (even when I thought it was). 😚 And no, I don't get anything for this. It's just a great app.

I have been watching basket weaving videos all morning and this is the first one I could actually follow. Very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou cool!

This was easy to follow, and my first basket turned out pretty good.
Glad your basket turned out well
Man, this is the longest screwdriver I have ever seen in my entire life! Ever!
I also like your explanation!
See you very, very soon!
Glad you liked it!
I like the time lapse music!
Thanks for composing it for me. Great collaboration!

Glad to hear that it was helpful. Here is another video showcasing an egg basket. ruclips.net/video/66ioCrc4bRg/видео.html
Perfect music for it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
New subscriber here, had to! I love that you teach a new skill as well as historical facts. Lovely Master Class! Thanks so much!!
Awesome, thank you!
Trying to do my first basket, this is a very helpful video.
Here are the written instructions just in case. www.hometalk.com/44296060/how-to-make-a-wild-vine-round-basket-from-scratch
I really enjoyed the basket facts as well as the instructions!!
Thanks Stone!
Thanks for the great video. It's going to make my first basket a lot easier to make!
Can I use the grape vines in my garden for this? I have a LOT of vine pruning to do and want to use the vines I prune off.
Kids got some skills tickling them ivorys there
Wonderful outcome and thank you for the clear video. I’m curious about how long it took you to do the actual weaving of the basket in non-time lapse time?
Really cool going to try my hand at this today
Thanks- I enjoyed browsing your channel as well.
Awesome. I love the little facts and the music. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it. My son wrote that music.
Very inspiring! Thank you!

Those were great tunes!
Thanks- my son created that when he was 12. He has stuff that is even better now. ruclips.net/user/KingoftheKeyboard
be nice to see what your doing!
Will do!
Thank you! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks Heather- hope you enjoy the channel
Thanks for video. After collecting vines.. How do I prepare? Mine are thinner but how do I clean & prepare? ❤️💕❤️
Thank you!

Thanks for the tips!
good video!
Looks like you’re strangling a giant spider eek😮
Not sure who won the battle though
thanks for the video.. anyone have a good suggestion on where to find the vines?
If you live in the SouthEast, you can use Kudzu as well. I used vines from my yard, however, I see vines all over that can be used. Just make sure to get permission first.
How long do you let the vines dry, if at all?
Wild vines- I would weave with them wet. Kudzu- I let dry out for a day or 2 depending on the moisture content.
Crazy loud music!!! Some up close shots would be nice. Overall great video. Thanks
would working with virginia creeper vines be in the category of "having a lot of fun later on in the afternoon"? :)
I've not tried them yet even though I do have them in my yard. They did not seem to be thick enough but they might work out. Let us know how your basket turns out.
I think they’re for sure thick enough but be careful! They will make some people break out
I’m hives like
Poison ivy
I have a bunch of devil's walking stick that I'm going to try this on
Bad choice of music, but I love the tutorial
I’m literally watching this to get the same merit badge your son got
Hi I love your videos and the music. But not together as I have to turn the music down then turn up when you talk.
I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
Nice video. The volume difference between your speaking and the music was dramatic and harsh. Maybe equalize the volumes next time?
Good points- we've focused on better sound quality it the more recent videos
so unfortunate that part of this was out of frame
My cameraman had to go eat...
He showed us how to make the basket, but there was no up close views of how the basket was supposed to look throughout each step of making the basket
the music is really distracting
We agree and plan to release a newer verion soon. My son was in 7th grade when he composed and edited that video. I think was good that they time but we do plan to improve it.
Good info, but awful music choice. Made me turn it off.
thank for the feedback
Please. No more music. Please
My son wrote that for me when he was 12
bro ditch that music
Too fast!
check out the link in the description where we have still shots for each phase
