Hey guys! Today I’m making DIY Miniature Easter baskets with thread and wire. In this tutorial you will learn how to weave a basket for dolls, dollhouse decoration or for yourself. These little baskets will be a great Easter decoration for your home! 😍 If you like my art, please support me by purchasing something in my shop: ❤️ Other links: ⁣At school, I took lessons on weaving willow baskets. And I didn’t really like them. 😪But they were very useful to me yesterday and today, when I finally bought everything I need to create miniature baskets. I’m crazy about them! I’ve already done 3 and don’t want to stop! I hope you enjoy it too!☺😍⠀ ⠀ The yellow mixture in plastic is dressmaker’s wax, you can buy it from a sewing store. As it passes through the wax, the thread becomes thicker and more manageable. I used a brown forristic wire as a base. I fix the top of the basket with PVA glue diluted with water. I glue a decorative pigtail and a handle with PVA too. Finally, I dip the basket into a mixture of hot water and cornstarch. Hot water melts the wax to make the basket look more realistic and durable, while the starch makes it hard when dry. But let the water cool slightly before use, as PVA starts to degrade at 60C. In the open air, such a basket dries for about an hour. But you can use a hairdryer!😉⠀ ⠀ I showed you the easiest way to weave in one thread. If you will be using 2 strands, then you do not need to put an additional ninth wire.😋⠀ ⠀ Will you like the tutorial? Please rate it from 1 to 10!😄
