I’d love to try hand in this. Rather prefer to watch the video but am having quite difficulty getting it to play all the way through. Is your video located on YT at all? Lovely idea! Thank you for sharing

This is a very useful container and you make it look easy to do.
I plan on using a plastic garden pot as a guide.

Not quite enough detail. Would love to make it but I have too many questions. I assume this is your blog?

In reply to fiona. Hello Fiona, sure. You grab one end and you make a knot with the one next to it, and so on until you tied the all basket edge. Once you are done knotting, your weaving is secure and won't fall apart but the ends doesn't look very nice. You can cut them a little but be sure to keep a lenght of 1 inch (2.5 cm) so you can fold each end into the basket and slide it inside the weaving. You can add a dot of fabric glue if you want, I didn't and it hold perfectly.

In reply to Alison.

If you attach the 8 straps in the center you kind of have a 16 arms octopus….Then with one other long strap you start weaving the “octopus arms” one time above, one time below, starting from the center knot. I hope it makes sense for you 😉

I am confused, when i put the knot with all the bits for the starburst bit it looks like a giant octopus, this looks nothing like your pics in the tutorial

In reply to Mellisa.

Hello Mellisa, maybe you didn’t you haven’t made the weaving tight enough … it’s maybe why the basket sag! I hope you will not have to start it again 😉
