By Jane Patrick Think of basketry as three-dimensional weaving. If you ever wove paper as a child, that’s the basis for this plaited basket. You begin by weaving a flat base, and then upturn the strips (called stakes or weavers) to make the sides, in what is referred to as bias plaiting. Materials Directions Step 1: Prepare the strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise. Step 3: Using string or thread, mark the base by twining around the edges. Kusudama Origami Floral Ball. How To Build The World's Best Paper Airplanes.
