A Fabric Wrapped Coil Basket

I am always trying to learn new crafts...

- why -

because I do not have enough crafts going now

hehehehe

So, I took a class with my friend Liz from Arrow Acres Farm, 

the class was in the Coop, I love the Coop.

It's where all the magic happens.

A Fabric Wrapped Coil Basket, here are a few pictures to show you how it's done.

These are the baskets that Liz made.

These are the fabrics I chose out of the many Liz had available.

I used a clothes line and wrapped "strips" of fabric around it as I twirled it circular to form a basket.

Each row is built on the row before it,

at the end of a strip of fabric, it is thread into the row below it so as to secure it.

You can see that better here.

It is a super fun technique and I plan on making another.

I love the finished "raggy" look 

and the colors are perfect for my newly painted office.

I did not take enough pictures to really demonstrate the technique,

I will take more when I make the next one!
