Learn To Weave! - Star / Snowflake / Sunflower

I've spent some time with the Amish community, taking in their beautiful traditional basketry skills, and my breath was taken away when I saw these beautiful creations. They go by a few different names, "Star" "Snowflake" "Sunflower", whatever you refer to it as doesn't effect the profound beauty and unique qualities of this admired centerpiece. __________________________________________________________________ SIZE VARIATIONS These are the recommended lengths for different reed thicknesses; 3/8" thick reed: cut 12 to 13 inches long. 1/2" thick reed: cut 16 to 18 inches long, or 5/8" thick reed: cut 20 to 24 inches long! The most important part is that all 10 pieces are marked in the center and that all of them are exactly the same length depending on the size of the star you want. Also, do not use floppy or soft material! __________________________________________________________________ A LITTLE BACK STORY: Susie Zook, an Amish lady in Pennsylvania and her three sons make and sell snowflakes wholesale. They caught the attention of a local church who commissioned them to make these three snowflakes and they built the background and added lights. This is proudly displayed at the front of the church for all to see These weaves are simpler than any basket I've ever made, and their craftsmanship makes them perfect for any occasion at any size. Fit them with LEDs or any other light (that wouldn't combust them, of course) and put them anywhere to give any room a cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere. These make perfect gifts, and will wow anybody just as much as I was. If you LOVE to Weave as much as I do, visit our website, BasketsByGin.Com and buy one of our kits!
