In this master class, 30 tubes were required to weave 2 baskets.

2. When 2-3 cm remains from the first working tube, increase its length. To do this, apply glue to the new tube and insert it into the remaining “tail”. Continue weaving over and over again, adding paper tubes as needed.
3. Once you weave the base required diameter(the same size as the container), place the container on it and begin weaving around it, pulling the stand tubes close to the walls.
