or two!
One could be hollowleg's - got another willow one to make yet. The basket part stands 5" high. The other is made from 16 fruit juice cartons.

You have to cut the cartons top and bottom off after washing them and then start cutting at one end in a spiral to give you the length. I love the basket but can't cut well enough first time and had to straighten them up with a rule and stanley knife afterwards. The strips are woven into a square and the sides are worked from the centre of the base. I'll try to take photos next time I do one. |
