To begin, find a material that you would like to weave. It should be flexible enough to move around but should also be able to keep its shape, in other words, somewhat sturdy. Be creative! Find old magazines, posters, yellow pages, thin wood, fabrics!
Next, cut strips of your material. Each strip should be about an inch or half-inch wide. Its fine to fold your strip in half (long ways), as a I did in the picture. For a basket of my height (about 10 inches) cut your strips of paper to be about 2 and a half feet. I used 12 strips of different colored, handmade paper. You can use 8, 10 strips or more; the more you use the wider your basket will be. The longer your strips, the taller your basket will be. Make sure you cut an even amount of strips.
