This square basket is the perfect solution to that shelf that needs a little help. With a self-handle on one side, this makes the basket function as a drawer. Fill with items, push it into the shelf space and everything looks nice and tidy and out-of-sight. Great in a cupboard or on the lower shelf of the coffee table. If you prefer, put a handle on both sides and change the function to a tray-like tote. Either way it will be stylish!!
This simple twill basket is made completely from recycled materials-in this case strapping-the stuff that comes around boxes for shipping. This sturdy material is made from vinyl, so it is practically indestructible.

Things are not always what they seem . . . This basket has a basic square grid woven base and compact woven sides in a balance weave. As the basket begins to have shoulders, the weave becomes diagonal and opens up leaving space between the spokes and weavers. At this time, new corners are formed on the sides. A neck is created with plain weave and the rim is double wrapped, creating a nice finish.
This basket is a replica of one Paul found in his neighbor's garage for use in an apple orchard. That one was made form 1" maple slats. This will be made with 1" flat reed and leather handles.
