Someone suggested I use up all the dandelions in my backyard by weaving them into baskets so I went and found a good tutorial!
Heh, that reminds me of trying to miniaturize origami folds when I was a kid. Yeah, don’t ask 😸
hehehe I’m guessing that didn’t work out super well for you

interesting things and posts indeed
Put that in a bush. A sparrow couple is gonna have a nest fit for royalty.
I love this idea!!
Damn, these are really cool. I was just practicing rope-making from nettles last summer myself.
That sounds so cool! Do you have any posts with pictures or talking about how you did it? I learned how to make cordage once from wild materials but I don’t know much about it.
I want to see a video of someone making the one pictured that’s small enough to sit on a fingertip. The patience that must take!
awesome tutorial
As adorable as this is, I cannot fathom a practical use for a basket hardly larger than a quarter.
Hehe you might not work with small objects a lot! I have several little baskets, bowls and pottery pots about this size. The ones I can see right now contain my enamel pin collection, my hair accessories (bobby pins, clips, etc), my rings, and my earrings. I also have a little bowl for safety pins and another for wonder clips since I do a lot of sewing. This size could also scale up easily to hold straws, pencils, pipe cleaners, and anything else light, long, and narrow. I have previously used containers of this size to hold cool rocks and stickers too. And the writer of the post explains how you can make different shapes and sizes of basket, too, so you can upscale for your own needs!
But, as someone else said, sometimes it’s nice to just make a thing for the joy of making a thing c:
Friend, the world need not be governed by utility: just enjoy the act of making things.
For your dime.
Tweezers, safety pin, chapstick, just to name a few 😛
For holding two grapes, or perhaps two dozen raisins
Decorative, put some smol neat thing in there
