Step Three















Once you have a tight basket weave, you must reinforce the bottom of your basket. At this time you should cut lots of tiny pieces of tape (about 15 to 20 pieces) and stick them to a handy surface around you.

Find your straight edge. Diagonally place it from the center of one side of your basket weave to the center of the adjoining side.  (Here, I have 6 strips on each side of my weave; I will place the ruler at the third strip of 1 side to the 3rd strip of the adjacent side to make a diagonal line.) Essentially, you are creating a diamond inside the square weave.  Along this diagonal line, place tape.
