Any woven basket must begin with a base. The base can be made from wood or it can be woven on a frame. It can be shaped into almost any shape or size imaginable and it will reflect in the shape and size of your basket. The side walls are then attached to the base and extend to the height that you desire the basket to be. The more side walls the basket has the more support the finished product will have. Reeds are then woven through the side walls of the basket, over one, under the next. The tighter you are able to weave the reeds and the tighter they are pressed together will make the basket more durable as a finished product. This process is continued until you have almost reached the end of the side walls. The side walls then need to be attached to a rim which will give the basket better shape and support.
