I started out with paper beads and of course they were made into necklaces. Satisfying, yes. Sold a few, yet moved on to other projects. Stumbled onto basket weaving videos 4 years ago yet kept experimenting different mediums as well. 4 months ago I started serious meditation time with weaving and got hooked. Still using recycled paper as there is a huge resource found in many different places. Ecstatic to find your channel and woohoo classes. Looking forward to gleaning more of this art form for calming my mental and of course selling. Thank you for your.effots in sharing with others.

I'm glad to have you. I hope you enjoy the videos and continue to explore new crafts.

Love your tutorials and you are a great instructor. I will be signing up for classes! Nice variety of videos on various fiber arts topics. So interesting…

Thank you for the kind words. I'd love to see you in the Basket of the Month Club!

Thanks so much for all the resources. I'm just starting out. I can't wait to dive in. :)

Have fun!

Terrific referral resource source! Thanks! I was trying to learn on my own using the resources in my yard. OMG! I have lots of basket sources growing wild here to spell me every year. I just need to up my skill level.

[@TextileIndie]

Glad it was helpful. I would love to know what you're harvesting to make baskets with. I'm always looking for a new material to explore.

I love your all basket and I am your new subscriber ❤

[@TextileIndie]

Thanks for subbing!

I make my husband subscribed too😂

So, if I wanted to make a basket that could, say, act as a hand shield and take impacts from a stick..?

[@TextileIndie]

Hah! I'm not sure rattan is the best material for that purpose - it's very flexible. But I've never tested out being hit with a stick while holding a basket! What type of basket material did people traditionally use to make combat gear?

[@mikaylamyers199]

I was looking into the basket a month thing but was trying to find how I could get the supplies included too. Are you no longer doing that?

[@TextileIndie]

Yes, I sell kits and supplies at www.textileindieshop.com
You'll find everything you need to make all 12 of the basket in the Basket of the Month club. Thanks for asking!

Do you have tutorials for creating a hamper?

[@TextileIndie]

I don't have a hamper tutorial. I do have a basket course with a large storage basket that would serve as a hamper. Here's the link if you're interested:

Do you have an Easter basket tutorial?

[@TextileIndie]

I don't have an Easter Basket tutorial on TH-cam. There will be a course on my website shortly on how to make a colorful Easter basket.
