Oh ny! You're not only a brilliant basket weaver & a skilled teacher, but clearly a lovely generous human being also 🌟💕 i feel very grateful to yo yo for offering this freely l- - what a fantastic gift to us all who are interested in crafting a basket.
Thankyou sincerely Hanna 🙏
✨🙏💕🙏✨🙏💕
Just btw, we live in Australia 🇦🇺 however we've been to Tipperary -My daughter & I stayed in Tipperary Town Tipperary some years back.
We both thoroughly loved Ireland. Will forever be in our hearts . ❤️
Omg this is exactly what I have been looking for as I really want to make my own wooden baskets. Now to go out walking to find some willow trees that I can trim to make a basket from. Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome!
Hahahaha I think they are different willow than what you are thinking, but maybe it would still work. I think you are thinking weeping willows. The girl in the video grows these thin sticks from nobs in Ireland.
Pussy willow is what we have in the states down near any pond or river. All sorts of colors and sizes. Late winter early spring is best time to get them when they aren't all sappy
This is almost my favorite basket of all. I like simple and this one appeals to me!
Yes Vea, there is something about that shape....!
Dear stranger who reads this comment: may your parents and loved ones live a long, happy and healthy life☺️
I haven't talked to my parents since my birthday and I haven't seen them since Thanksgiving.
Thanks I needed that
Chelsea MAKL May god bless you ☺️💕 I hope you get to talk to your parents anytime soon ☺️
you too!
God Bless you!
Cheers, but my parents are dead
You're a great teacher, in addition to being a marvellous basketmaker. I don't have access to willow, but your videos have me thinking about what other abundant natural materials I could use to make a basket...
Simply beautiful. Most people have no idea how much work goes into a basket.
Thanks! I agree...
loved 😍this video my grandfather was a basket maker in white willow
Hello from Manitoba🇨🇦! I have a lot of red willow saplings growing around and used your tutorial to make my first basket! 🤩! Thank you for sharing your skill!
Wonderful! That amazing well done!
You may want to wipe your red willow with a cloth containing varsol or paint thinner because the red willow ( dog wood ) has a sticky coat on its bark that is some what irritating.
This is the nicest basket tutorial I've seen! Very professional result!
Wow, thank you!
I am not very good at Basketry,I am fired up at trying it one more time before I leave this life,I tried Basket making when I was 15 yrs old and had fun doing it but due to Financial hardship ventured out on other things, but never let Basketry leave my mind.
I am 77 years now and I loves baskets to the point I do sell Baskets, my Fascination with Basketry is Phenomenal and I want to make A Basket now I have the Opportunity to make my DREAM come Through/TRUE.
Wonderful! Thank you. I make simple willow wreaths for my bunnies and one of my goals for 2022 is more weaving and basket making!
Hello from Denmark. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. It’s a beautifully shaped basket and you explain it so well.🍀
Thank you-- gorgeous little basket
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for sharing Hanna. Brilliantly demonstrated and explained.
Wow, I loved watching this. Thank you for showing and teaching!
Thank you for this video. I have willow I need to soak and this will be a perfect project to start with.
Hi Fran, let me know how you get on!
I have been wanting to make a basket for ages I love them.. Thank you for sharing 😍
Thanks Hanna ... Love the simple top border
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I have been wanting to experiment with weed weaving and collected a bunch of dock stems, dried and soaked them, and managed to follow this tutorial! My basket is nowhere near as neat as yours, but it's strong enough to hold a bunch of bananas. I just need to peg the handle- I used hazel for it- but it's gone midnight now and I'm not up for fiddling around with sharp objects :)
I love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
Fantastic, Thanks!
Love this little basket too. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Beautiful looking basket and such a simple handle, what a great idea, thanks
Thank you, you're very welcome!
Wow Thank you for the step by step visual and audio!! We are going to soak up some will soon and try this.
Oh great and let me see it when it's done!
That is a neatly made basket. Thank you for this video!
Glad you like it!
Hi Hanna, good to see you again, thanks for putting up this video. 👍( keep them coming!) .
Thank you, I will!
Thanks for sharing! I want to give this little basket a try.
Great Katy, would love to see it when it's done!
Hallo, Hanna, thank you for this chanel. Last time (some 2 years ago) I browsed english channels in search of basketry tutorials I was looking exactly for something like that. And I had hard time trying to find quality instruction. Today I by coincidence came across your channel. Great job, thank you very much for your work.
Wonderful! So glad the video's are helpful thanks!

Thankyou something for your videos. I've just made my first basket thanks to you 😘
I'm going to upload my basket to my channel and add a # to you. If you see it I hope it makes you smile as I had great fun x
It's a lovely little basket. It looks like you're left-handed, Hanna, but you're weaving right-handed.
😀 I think I'm multi dexterous in some parts of the basket 😀
Well done, beautiful work.
Thanks so much!
great skills and love your accent. Subscribed!
So good! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Lovely and really great tutorial. Thank you :D

You’re welcome , happy weaving!
brilliant thanks. love your accent
Hey thanks!
Wow beautiful basket, I found some willow on the ground in the woods to-day, and thought I may have a go at something? and hey ho found your lovely video thankyou luv n light x
Thank you very much! Pretty basket!
You are so welcome!
Hello Hanna! Thank You very much for Your lessons :)
You're welcome !
Lovely video! You're a grand weaver
This is so beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Magnifique design, utile, Art
I love you lady. This was amazing. 🤩
Thank you!
I just have to comment and say thank you. I've been wanting to weave my own baskets since I was literally a child, and I can't tell you how many tutorials I've watched that are just packed full of the weavers ideology and beliefs. I appreciate that, truly, but I also think the actual all facts tutorial is a little more important... How do you get people involved if you never show them how to do it? So thank you, thank you so so much for truly giving a very clear, step by step, tutorial! Blessed be!
You are so welcome! happy weaving!
Dziękuję serdecznie, piękny koszyczek , bardzo chciałabym taki zrobić i nauczyć się wyplatania z łozy!!! Pani jest niesamowita, piękna, twórcza i bardzo miła!!! Zdrowia , nowych pomysłów i nowych wideo!!! Pozdrawiam!!!
Great video as always 😊😊🌿🌳
Hey thanks!
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
Your so cool Hanna , I hope I can make something so beautiful.
You can do it!
Wow vary beautiful
Thanks a lot!
I really love keep it up 👍❤️💕🦋🌿🦋💕🌿
Thanks so much
Very cute basket! There are tons of knot willows around my area. I'm going to try to get a bundle the next time they are trimmed.
Please do!
I don't have a reply I have a question? How am I going to be doing the Course with you and when?
LOVELY
Thanks!
very nice
Thanks!
👍🏻
Okay now I see how it works. 😊
Great!
Wow you make it look easy but I bet it's not. Very interesting video thank you x
You’re welcome 😊
very nice video
Thanks!
There is basquet maker that weaves coffins on Salt Spring Island in Canada!
Hi Hanna, thank you so much for this tutorial! looking forward to making this. Just curious, why did you chose 2 uprights per spoke? Does it have to do more with aesthetics or practicality? I've seen others make small baskets with only 1 upright per spoke so I was curious if that would work with this tutorial as well. Thanks!
This is an absolutely beautiful basket thank you so much for showing us how to do it. I have been weaving with fresh materials some willow some dogwood, hazel and brambles. However I am finding that after time they go loose. Does anyone know how long to leave a cut piece so it does not shrink or is it the case that all material have to be dried first and then soaked?
Hi, yes I would recommend you dry your willow first before soaking again tobuse to stop the basket becoming loose. However it is possible to use semi green willow, dogwood and Hazel. This means you can use it after a few weeks, or longer depending on drying conditions. When the willow starts going wrinkly but is still flexible.
Lovely little basket. Great tutorial. I did a class years ago. Where can I get willow rods in Ireland?
Very hard to get them in Ireland. Send me an email and I can send you on some names...
@@HannaVanAelst Thanks did that
beautiful homemade basket! what size is that? i'm planning on making one
Thank you so much for this video, Hanna. I have recently found your TH-cam channel and instagram and am making preparations to plant willow on my own farm. I have a quick question about the video instructions. How do you first get started with the second wale? When you move from the French rounding back to the wale, do you thread the tips of the new weavers into the row below, as you did pushing them into the base? I guess I was just a little unsure how to get that top wale started.
Thank you!
Hi, yes you push the rods for the wale into the weaving, beside 3 consecutive uprights. That way they are ankered in. Enjoy weaving!
Hello! Thanks for the great video. Im getting materials together now to give it a try. How should I store a half-finished basket overnight or for a day or so if I dont want it to dry out before I can continue working on it?
Wrap it in a damp towel or blanket for the night or even a day or two. If the uprights are getting really dry you can 'top up' by leaving the entire basket in your soaking tank for a day or so....
Looking for the link to your courses. Love your videos! Ontario Canada.
Thanks! You can find all info on my courses on my website here. hannavanaelst.com/online-courses/
Very good video - Very good craftslady. A disappearing art, sad to say.
Thanks Scott!
REALLY BEAUTIFUL! HOW /WHERE DO U GET THE DIFFERENT COLOURS OF WILLOW? THE DARK AND THE LIGHT MAKE A LOVELY CONTRAST IN THE BASKET
Thank you! Different colours are different willow varieties that have a variety of bark colours.
@@HannaVanAelst GREAT THANX
awesome video! How thick are the uprights you used? this is my first time making Willow baskets and i think the rods i have bought are much to thick can you help?
they are 10-15mm diameter :S
I really wish she had described all of the steps!
Por favor, subtítulos en español
Can I buy a basket just like that ?
Thanks for this great video! My only question is, I was confused when you started weaving the sides you said, "And I'm starting on opposite sides so I have 3 weavers on opposite side doing chasing." What did you mean by "starting on opposite sides?" Opposite sides of what? Thank you! I have never woven a basket before. ^_^
opposite sides of the basket. It is something hard to understand, needs to be shown. But you don't need to do chasing, you can just start on one side and keep on weaving.
Can you use willow branches from a willow tree ? We just had a hurricane and have loads of those branches
All willow rods come from a willow tree. But the best ones to weave with are one year old shoots.
I have to ask because no one else is, what was the howling in the background?
what kind of knife is that?
When she says "making sure it can go" my Google assistant perks up.
So is it the weeping willow tree these rods come from? Could we collect the fallen twigs?
She has videos about this
@@reesekolcow6136 thank you. I will see what i can find.
Where can you get willow uprights?
Have a look in your local environment for willow trees.
the 17 dislikes are the berries being picked
:-)
Please don’t inspire me.. I don’t have time
Know the feeling!!! :-)
