Plaiting is a basketry method that weaves flat materials over and under each other in a pattern. Generally the materials used in plaiting are flat and rigid. Baskets as well as hats, mats and bags can be constructed with the plaiting technique. These instructions will teach you how to plait a small square basket. The beginning of the basket is the most difficult part. Basketry requires patience and perseverance. Keep at it and you will be proud of your new skills and finished basket.

This kit is NOT easy and is NOT for beginners! You have to carefully measure and then bend the plaits and then weave them together. Found that the weaving would NOT stay in place and the pinch clothespin they gave to "help" did not. Finally threw away the thing after trying several times. Do NOT recommend!
