Zigzag weaving for beginners ☕ A small basket from upcycled coffee bags

In this tutorial you learn the basics of zigzag weaving technique. The size of this basket is 7x7x7 cm, with the coffee bag width of 14,7 cm. For this basket you need 16 strips which is approximately six coffee bags (three strips/one coffee bag). Here I used three and three of two different coffee bags that have the same width. For the weaving you need: - empty coffee bags - clothespins or other clips - durable wooden sticks or knitting needles - scissors - paper/cardboard for the template To join woven pieces, you need: - string (e.g. gift wrapping string) - a needle - scissors Size of the strips: 14,7 x 6,8 cm Width of the folded strip: ~ 2,3 cm Size of the basket: Height: ~ 7 cm Base: ~ 7 x 7 cm More info and instructions for coffee bag weaving in Video chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:20 The template and cutting the strips 01:20 Folding the strips 04:00 Weaving the zigzag 09:23 Finishing the edge
