Weaving an Easter basket is a fun job, in the old days every child learned weaving in kindergarten. We no longer see weaving projects by the mini monsters and we find that very unfortunate. That's why we weave a basket ourselves today, for Easter!

Here is how you weave an Easter basket

Place 5 strips lenghtwise before you, weave 5 strips in.

Fold the ends on all sides upward and down again

Now we weave the sides through the upward ends.

Stick the first strip on, then start weaving.
