Great presentation. No wasted time and material is well organized. Much appreciated.

This guy is the best teacher...he is good, it's easy breezy...Thanks😄

Well, I got a bottom and side-ribs made, but ran out of branches for weaving the sides and I had to take down the whole Willow to get that far. I guess I'll pick up the work next summer, after the Willow coppices. Then I should have lots of long, thin branches. It's mid-summer and even the green branches are cracking when I bend them. John makes it all look so effortless. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this new craft and might try again with more pliant material. Rubber trees??? :D

Absolutely gorgeous, I love the basket! And I even have a neighbor next door who has a willow tree that they trim sometimes and I can get willow from to try and make my own basket out of. Also, Happy Valentine's Day!

Free willow next door? WIN! You should definitely try to make some willow crafts.

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

Lovely Greens I hope to, as soon as they provide more trimmings. =) Looking forward to it.

[@shelldonaldson4276]

Thanks for sharing, I'd love to learn how to do this!

[@skribblelynn]

Do you have to soak the willow? Or can you do it when its fresh?

[@motog4-75]

It's very therapeutic.
I tried it today, looks nothing like a basket, more like a birds nest. I just can't get the branches to go & stay where I want them to. Anyway it was fun.

[@kevinheynes1137]

Should the willow be freshly cut?

[@MyMiaTom]

really wonderful tutorial, hope to see parts 3 and 4 .....

[@Lovelygreens]

I'm so behind in putting them up! Apologies for that but they're coming probably in September.

[@skribblelynn]

How do you end the bottom so it dose not unravel?

[@SweetLife529]

Great! Just wondering if this is “green” or dried willow?

[@Lovelygreens]

It's green, relatively freshly cut, willow

[@adamsfamilygarden5222]

What kind of Willow?

[@tedsbackyard]

Where are parts 3 and 4?

[@Lovelygreens]

I'll be adding them soon :)

[@stefanobarbieri1016]

[@roberthowell932]

Reminds me of alaska and hawaii.

[@Lovelygreens]

The Isle of Man or weaving baskets?

[@roberthowell932]

[@karenadvincula4070]
