Matters needing attention in weaving rattan baskets

1. Material selection: Choose rattan or other weaveable materials suitable for basket weaving, such as bamboo or wicker. Ensure that the material is of good quality, tough and easy to bend.

2. Prepare tools: prepare necessary tools, such as knitting needles, scissors, needle and thread, clips, etc. For use during compilation.

3. Knitting skills: Learn basic knitting skills, such as plain knitting and cross knitting. You can learn different knitting methods by watching tutorial videos or referring to teaching materials.

4. Make the base first: Before making the basket, make the base of the basket first. Choose thick rattan and weave according to the selected base shape to ensure the stability of the bottom structure.

5. Tightness control: When preparing the basket, pay attention to controlling the tightness of the rattan to ensure the overall balance and firmness of the basket. Canes that are too tight or too loose will cause the basket to be deformed or unstable.

6. Reinforcement and decoration: Where reinforcement is needed, extra rattan can be used for cross weaving or overlapping to enhance the structure of the basket. According to personal preference, you can add ribbons, ribbons or garlands to the basket.

7. Maintenance after completion: After completion, the hanging basket can be wiped with a clean wet cloth, and avoid exposure to the sun or wet environment, so as to prolong the service life of the hanging basket.
