Deciding with the size of the finished product, you need to cut down the bottom of the cardboard and glue the ends of the tubes to it so that on each side it is about the same amount. Then, when the adhesive will dry, cut down the same measurements. The second bottom and paste on the base, thus closing the connection point of the tubules. When the bottom of the basket is dry, you need to beat the tubes up and put it inside the future basket, the form of which will take the product. Next, take the tubes and perpendicular to the existing insert them in a checker order. Places where the tubes are connected to each other, smoke. When the product reaches the desired height, carefully fill vertical parts, lubricate the upper row with glue. After the glue dries, cover the basket with paint and varnish. The photo shows the manufacturing process.
The second way is more time-consuming, he assumes a basket bottom weaving. In order to heat the base of 4 tubes, lay two at a distance of 1-2 cm. This is the first row.
The second row: 6 tubes place pairwise and perpendicular to the first row in the following order: the first 2 tubes are under the first pair and over the second pair of the first row. The other 2 tubes are near, but mirrored (above the first pair and under the second pair of the first row). The remaining 2 tubes are similar to the first two.
Next, you need to take a new tube, fold in the middle and put on some couple of launches of the braid. Working tube once to cross in and continue to swell the other pairs of the tubes. After each pair of work parts of the tube to cross.
The third and fourth row of performing a single working tube. To make cant at the bottom of the basket, the ray, which ended the row, should be beatened for the next, the same repeat with the remaining rays to the end. Last tube introduce a loop to the first beam formed from the first beam.
The following rows weave according to the sample of the third row of the bottom. You can decorate the basket by the beads, for this, when weaving some rows, you need to wear beads on the working tube.
When the basket reaches the desired height, the remains of the tubes cut and fix between the rows.
