Eight base strips: 100 x 10 mm; folds at 30 and 70 mm.
Three wall bands: 170 x 10 mm, including 10 mm overlap.
Rim: 170 x 5 mm. Nominal floor: 40 x 40 mm.
From file to finished page
- Cut the eight base strips, three wall bands and narrow rim from the pattern sheet.
- Weave four base strips across four others, alternating over and under. Centre the 40 mm square between the fold guides.
- Fold the free ends up at their 30 and 70 mm guides to make the four walls.
- Join each wall band into a 160 mm loop using its 10 mm overlap. Weave the three loops around the upright strips, alternating the weave by row.
- Attach the narrow rim around the top. Allow every join to dry, then inspect the corners before placing any light paper item inside.
Printing and use notes
Miniature weaving study, not a carrying basket, food container or load-tested structure.
Physical assembly is required to validate the weave and material thickness.
