You can just tie it with twine. Though if this is green willow don't bother, regardless of how tight you think you've tied it, it will end up loose. There is no alternative to zip ties if using green material since zip ties can be effortlessly tightened as the willow dries. All other ties would need to be completely redone.
@@danmi6099 they would have just tied it with rope or twine....but it would end up loose. If you have more patience you can let the rods dry for a few months, then soak them for a few days until they become flexible again. Then weave them. When you use dried and soaked willows they shrink significantly less. Green willow (fresh) can shrink as much as 50% and just get crazy loose no matter how tight you tied it the first time. Zip ties just make the process faster and easier, and then you can cover it up after it is done.
Precioso! Gracias!
Super Super schön gemacht
sieht einfach wunderschön aus🥰❤❤❤
Brilliant, I love them
I found this really clear, just a bit fast for me to follow. Had to watch it a few times to get the idea.
Did you cut the sticks to a certain length?
Genial👏👏
How long of branches that important
Hi! What length rods are you using? Are they green or have they been dried? Great video!
Also curious what length rods are used. ☺️
Thankbyouvfor sharing
Measurements?
Nice :-)
Hey great video, it would be good if you could show how to do it the natural way, without using plastic

@@taylorhillard4868 hey, do you know how they did it before plastic was invented, I’m assuming making this is an old tradition?

What is 'right facing' and 'left facing' rods?
I think they mean weave one rod, thin end first, one rod ‘fat’ end first…!
@@tonirodgers3812 Thank you - makes sense!
Please no plastoc zip. Use vegetal links. Better for nature..
What is vegetable links?
@@kimberleesteele6652 cord made from natural fibres is my guess and a far better option all round .
🇦🇷
Zip ties?? Really?? You are working with nature and then use plastic. 🙄☹️
Too fast for me
