What This Kit Is Best For
This kit is best for crafters who want to make a useful set of baskets instead of a single finished piece. The different box sizes work well for organizing small items, keeping craft supplies together, or adding natural woven texture to shelves and tabletops.

Material and Size Notes
The kit uses #3 round reed for the woven sides and birch plywood bases with drilled holes for easier setup. The wood bases help give each box a clear shape while you learn how to build even sides with plain weave.

Setup and Weaving Guidance
Before beginning, read the full instructions and separate the materials for each box size. Keep the reed damp enough to bend smoothly while weaving, but do not over-soak it for long periods, especially when working around wood bases.
Start with the smallest box if you want to practice the pattern before moving to the larger sizes. Keep the reed spacing even around the corners so the finished boxes stay square and balanced.
Care and Storage
Let the finished boxes dry fully before nesting or storing them. Wipe with a soft dry cloth when needed, and avoid soaking the finished boxes or leaving them in damp areas.
Because the kit uses natural reed and wood bases, slight color and texture differences are normal. Store the boxes indoors and avoid heavy loads unless the strength of the finished weave has been checked.
