- Here's a lovely weaving project to try, using Willow bark to weave this surprisingly strong little basket.
You will need 9x2 foot strips of willow bark, 8 of the strips are used to construct the basket and the final strip is used to bind it at the top.
Great explanation! Thanks for sharing and beautiful basket!
Another very interesting and clear tutorial - thank you. I think I'll move on from pine-needle maskets for a bit!
Very cute I love how you carefully pegged and shaped it for weaving..
Yes, very handy pegs, thank you
@@BigGreenArt Your welcome...
Beautiful basket!
Thank you! 😊
cool. will try. if God wills!
Every time I've tried to dry the bark the edges roll in on itself, any tips to stop this happening?
When you peel the bark off, roll it up to dry it, this keeps it 'flat'.
Do you have to soak them in anything particular
It's just water
Do you have a video on how to harvest the willow bark?
Hi Betsy, funnily enough that will be my next video. It should be out in a couple of weeks.
@@BigGreenArt Great! I will look forward to watching it.
Betsy beat me to it!

Oh, you only soak it for an hour? Ha.. that might be my mistake.
