What is an open base?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The base is the bottom of the basket. A basket base can be created in a number of different styles for different purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an open base the stakes are woven, creating a grid that has open spaces between the stakes. Hence the name – open base basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we will cover how to weave an open base for a basket with a handle<\/a> and one without a handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up your basket workspace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basket weaving is a wet process! Before you begin weaving, lay a towel on your work surface. This will catch any excess water as you work with the wet reed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
