Hello my mini friends
As you all probably know, there are different techniques to make miniature baskets
The one's we'll talk about in this post are made with the so-called weaving technique
I admit, it isn't all that easy in the beginning and the first few one's may end up in the trash.
But you need to keep trying and help is available, either in books about miniature wicker furniture (DIY techniques) or another very good and helpful sorts is www.miniatures.about.com where Lesley Shepherd gives tons of good advice for anything you might wanna do in miniature. Just type in the search criteria on the upper right corner of the screen and I'm sure you will find help there (my personal favorite site by the way when it comes to tips and tricks)
NB : there are several materials you may wanna try when it comes to weaving baskets, the result will look slightly different depending on which one you're gonna go with
The yellow one was my first try .... gotta admit there's still a long way to go
The brown one on the left look a bit better already
Here's a bigger one I made a few months later, afin practicing a lot
And here's one made of string, a technique Carole Elbling explains in a video tutorial on dollshouse, but remember ... you need a subscription to watch these movies. So if you're interested in this fairly easy technique, drop me a line and I'll help :)
