Description: Stand out in the crowd with this colorful tote you've crafted for your next outing! Select from three vibrant color schemes, each featuring a matching leather handle. The tote's height is adjustable—add more rows of weaving for a taller tote that can hold numerous items, or fewer for a compact version ideal as a purse. This sturdy tote starts with inserting natural and dyed reed spokes into a racetrack base. Techniques include triple twine with a step up, basic over under weave, double triple twine, 4 Rod Wale using yarn, and a traditional lashed rim.
Please choose your color version when signing up for the class- Navy, Ginger or Teal.
Your finished project will measure 11-13"h x 13"w x 7"d.
Tools needed: Sharp reed scissors, straight Weave Rite tool or flat screw driver, packing tool, pencil, needle nose pliers, and a small sponge to dampen reed. *We strongly encourage you to have a second (smartphone) camera over your workspace for demonstration, questions, and problem solving. This greatly aids the instructor, as well as helping you. You can use the DIY camera stand*
