Farmer's Market Tote Basket by Basket Maker's Supply

Perfect for shopping or carrying projects, this filled-base basket measures 13" x 5 1/2" at the base and stands 13" tall.

Basic techniques include stop/start rows of weaving along with standard tucking, rims and lashing.

Leather-n-Lace Basket by Dani Sue Creations

We all end up under the weather from time to time, and if you’re like me, it’s hard to make yourself stay in bed to recover. While sick recently, I helped the time pass by designing this basket in my mind; then about a week later, I actually got to make it. Seeing it come together just like I planned was really fun!

Leather–n–Lace has a 12” round wooden bottom and 2 colorful leather handles. The weaving technic gives it an extra special look. This beauty has many different functions which will add unique character to any home.

Finish Basket dimensions: woven portion of the basket stands 8” tall, with a 42 inch circumference.
