Small basket

[TaTanka]

Was bored and had a spool of paracord. Decided to see if it would be feasible to make a basket out of paracord. It turned out fairly well since I haven't done any weaving for 14 years. It's fairly small but might be useful for something. Going to work on a larger one next as they collapse down pretty well and could be used for foraging or collecting anything you might need to.

Nice work - how long did that take?

cool, I like that! - any chance of some pic's of how it is constructed?

 

[TaTanka]

It's about 2 hours total, including the securing of the cord ends and cutting. I don't have any pics of the construction as I wasn't sure how it was going to come out. I'm going to start work on a bigger one and I'll take pics of the steps and post them.

that is a great basket
I have tried making one out of garden twine, but got the technique all wrong and is only big enough to hold 8 Cadbury mini eggs!

I will have another go at making one... you have inspired me!
