A-tisket, a-tasket... 

Wow the basket looks lovely! We were taught how to make a basket by Kit from Queen Elizabeth Dolls House at Coventry Miniatura last month. We used embroidery floss then applied a watered down pva solution afterwards which was a cheap alternative to the linen thread. I’ve admired your basket collection for years, you have some beautiful artisan pieces! Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge. Xxxx love from Nottingham, England ❤

Корзинки супер! Спасибо за урок) все корзинки очень красивые.

Stunning . Beautiful work and patience. I was mesmerised..❤

That looks really lovely and stylish. I haven't had much luck with basket making so now I just tend to ask Jen Horner to make them for me when I need one, but I would love to learn the skill in future. I was gifted a very large industrial spool of a dark waxed linen thread a while ago so I really must learn! (And now I appreciate the value of the gift!!!)

Hello Josje, lovely video. I will save it because I want to make a basket with you. I really enjoy watching you create. If this was not considered a tutorial, ❤ sorry you will be my tutor in basket making😊 in my near future, lol. The basket looks so lovely. Thank you Darling. 🥰

What a cute little basket! Tip: if you are working with an even number of stakes, you can also use two threads, and weave them alternating

Beautyfull 😊 I fell in love with the Kitten in the basket ❤. My Kitten love to hide and slepp in baskets, so suddenly the miniature world became reality - sort of 😅. Greetings from Denmark

I always look forvard to and enjoy your videos. Though I have a bit of basket weaving experience, I can learn something from your struggles in miniature. I would never have thought of glueing on a rim like you did, because life sized baskets are supposed to be sturdy, but it is actually a real possibility in miniature, which I will remeber :) Keep up the good work ❤

Yes, it is such a shame that waxed linen thread is so expensive, it is nice for many things. Here in the US you can get hemp cord in various sizes for less, or even use DMC embroidery thread…with a piece of beeswax, you wax any thread to make the weaving easier.

Hi, love that we are learning with you and getting a heads up on what can go wrong. Thank you. J

Hi Josje, I ordered the same waxed linen thread on-line during lock-down and accepted that it was very expensive but my biggest shock was getting in the post and realising that it was just the size of a standard spool of thread.😂 (lesson…always read the fine print) I put it in a safe place waiting for a worthy project and thanks to your video I now have one. The cheap garden twine you used for the log basket makes it look very realistic because it is a bit rougher.

Josje you basket turned out adorable! Maybe next basket can have a braided top to cover up the cut off wire on the edge. To make longer handles you can insert a longer wire each side once you start weaving on the sides then take the wire bending to the opposite sides, you do not have to include it when making the bottom. It will holds well. Love the cat also.😊

Your basket is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you did the handles.. What I have done, instead of using the waxed thread which is more expensive, I just buy the thread I need in the right size, then if I want it a different color I run it through some acrylic paint of that color and let it dry. It then is the right texture for weaving. It's messy, but it works. If the thread is already the color you want, then just run it through some tacky glue and let it dry.

What a beautiful little basket Josje, love how it turned out, something I will try, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

Your basket turned out so cute. I remember, years ago, the linen thread was called Irish waxed linen carpet thread. I believe it did come from Ireland. Looking online there is still carpet thread for sale in different ply, at various prices. The wire also comes in white here. In the making, of a my few mini baskets, I found using a blunt nosed darning needle came in handy. I think I'll have to pull out my wicker making stuff again and make another basket as well. LOL Thanks for the video, I always look forward for them. 🧺🧺

Your creations are stunning 👍😊 we all learn from our crafts mistakes when creating something new 😊 thats what I love about crafting. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

Beautiful work! The bread is lovely too: did you make it? And I loved the little kitty in the basket at the end, and the wonderful lillies!! Gorgeous! Thank you again for a lovely film. kindest regards, k

Josje you really do not notice one extra wire other than one top to bottom row will be slightly larger in width. Squeezing it with the tweezers helps if needed. I have made a complete set of wicker chair/stool/planter with the materials you have used. They came out wonderful - but TENSION when weaving is everything for proper spacing. To start a circle, use 2 wires crossed over, weave 2 rows then insert half extra wires, weave another 2 rows, then insert the rest of the wires. Then continue weaving. Just like basket weaving in full scale.

That turned out very nice!

Absolutely gorgeous, you are so talented 😊

That basket is beautiful. I hope to make one someday. ❤

Im in the the states. Seems like everything is getting so expensive. Love your work. Warm Wishes from Los Angeles Dale

I think I've seen these florist wires in white as well as green. That would at least be less noticeable with the light colors you are using. I think that in regular basket making, they would weave the pieces together to form that initial square rather than gluing like you did here. It's a cute basket though and I like the combination of wire and waxed thread for miniature baskets.

Very nice. You did a beautiful job.

It looks really lovely, and I love the cat in the basket. Typical cat behaviour.

Hello Josje, your basket is lovely, Have you ever seen the channel Johanna K's mini life ? She makes all sorts of baskets weave things including furniture, they are really good, have a lovely weekend, Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊

This is absolutely adorable!

Loved this video. I have been weaving a mini basket and it is a learning process. Thanks for all of your great work. Did you ever get a copy of the MFA Boston book from the show? If not, I would be happy to send you one,

You had so much patience with this basket. I would have given up on it. But it turned out very well. I'd love to know where you got the cat in the thumbnail of this video. Thanks for sharing.

I have been obsessed with miniature basket weaving. I have been able to make several baskets with mixed results. In June, I’m taking a basket weaving class with Lidi Stroud at Guild, School. By the way, I left you a private message on your Instagram account with a question.

What is your favorite piece and why? Happy birthday in advance! 🎉😊

Your attention to detail is amazing! If you don't mind telling us, how long did it take to make that basket?

Ziet er leuk uit. Van fouten maken leer je ook. Vraagje waar heb je die mooie weegschaal vandaan? Of heb je die ook zelf gemaakt? Groetjes ❤

Where does one obtain waxed linen thread, please?
