This tutorial is a great project for those wanting something straightforward and achievable on a weekend afternoon. The tools I am using are specialized for basket weaving, but I will share suggestions of things you might have at home that you can interchange. The reed I’m using is fairly easy to get as well. The links below will direct you to all the materials you will need. I want to keep it as simple as possible so that you can get to weaving without having to track down lots of different materials.
