Flax Basket.

 

We have been learning how to make a Flax Basket. It was hard at the start but then it got really easy. First we had to rip the spine out of the flax then rip the flax apart. We had to get twelve strips of flax to make it. You had to put down seven pieces of flax then go up and down with five pieces of flax. Then with the five two sides we folded them and at the end of folding both sides you do one braid on each side then tie it up with a skinny piece of flax on both sides. The put rap them round and round to make a handle. Then with the rest of it tie it and cut the long bits of flax. 

Have you ever made a flax basket?
