Great tutorial. How many feet of coiling cord did you use to make this bowl? I see that you have a link to the coiling cord for 180 feet, but I'm sure you didn't need all of it to make this one bowl. I'm planning to make multiple bowls, so I was wondering how many feet I will need for each bowl. Thank you.
I used about 20 feet for this basket! I typically cut off about a wing-span length of cord (roughly 4 feet for me) and use that one at a time, adding as I go. You can always start with a wing-span length and add to it and stop once you hit a good length! Would love to see your final baskets!
Yes! I buy from Blick Art Supplies! www.dickblick.com/items/coiling-core-14-x-180-ft/ So glad you enjoyed the video and learned how to build these baskets! It’s quite addicting!
Great question! I used about 10 feet for the basket I made in the video - truly depends on how big you want the basket to be. If you’re making a shallow, wide basket it might end up being the same as a narrow, tall basket. The spools I buy are 180 yds I believe so I buy at least 3 for my 2 sections of students (around 40 kids total). Let me know if you have any other questions!
Sorry for the confusion! You can wrap either way throughout the entire basket - a lot of my students don't remember which direction they wrapped the previous class so it's helpful that it doesn't affect the outcome.
@@stephaniedanza The wrapping doesn't matter but it does determine how you do the figure 8. I am hoping to use your video (if the is OK) to teach high schoolers how to do this. soon as I learn it myself. Your video is great. Thank you.
@@wendyrice2996 Good point! My students struggled with that too - at around 9:06 in the video I show how my stitch has to be tucked/squished between the coils before I make a stitch. You can emphasize that point of the video when students start to struggle with that. Some other tutorials make a "bridge" stitch that goes over the gap between coils but I believe the "8-stitch" makes a stronger basket. I'm so glad I made this because then I can help students who really are struggling while other students are able to figure it out from the video. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with! I'd love it if you used this to teach your high schoolers!
@@stephaniedanza Thanks for answering and helping. Actually they will end up going both ways I am sure, I did so then it will be good to show. I like the figure 8 stitch too, once you understand it.
@@wendyrice2996 There’s definitely a learning curve! Usually my students’ baskets start with bridge stitches and then they figure out how to do the 8stitch further down the road. You’ve got this!
There are many tutorials for this but yours is my favorite!! Thankyou!!
@inezwong5654 Thank you so much!!
Thank you! 🥰
Of course! We’re you able to make one?! I would love to see it!

@@pdelmercado You're so welcome!
incredibly time-consuming work, but the effect is amazing. greetings
Yes! So much time and effort go into making these guys but the end product is definitely worth it! My students are so proud of their work in the end!
👍👍👍...
Hope this was helpful! We’re you able to make a basket?
Can you share the site where you buy your coil from? Thank you for the video! Learned so much:)

Muy bonito y entretenido.
Sería posible hacerlo en español???
Muchas gracias y saludos 😊
I’m so sorry for the delayed reply! I can see if one of my students could write captions in Spanish for me!
Hola, no podrías poner las cantidades de material que usaste???????
So sorry - I'll add it to the description. I used about 15-20 feet of the coiling core for the finished basket in the video. Hope that helps!
👍👍👍
We’re you able to make one?!
OMG How much will that cost 1500$, so much work.
It is definitely time-consuming!! It is worth it in the end!
How long is the cord you used? Because im buying a 50ft pack so how many would that make? Like how many ft is one basket

@@stephaniedanza thank u so much!! Appreciate it. This video helped me so much- 💗
@@juliafrlol Glad to help - I think breaking down each step is key!
🤩👏👏⚘
✨ Thank you! Any plans on trying this yourself?
Great tutorial but.........centering the movements & steps would be an improvement. Lots of the action is out of the cameras view.
@@NomScott I agree! This was one of my first videos - just a video I quickly put together for my students that got some traction online!
At the beginning you are wrapping towards you and when you add a new yarn you wrapping away. I know it doesn't matter but confusing.

I’d rather sew my basket on he sewing machine. Just my opinion.
Totally understand! I like to bring this along to work on while traveling - gives me something productive to do with my hands! 😊
