Lozopletie. How to weave from the willow. Master class for beginners.
Today we have willow weaving on the agenda. This is a wonderful activity, you can weave plates, baskets, even furniture. But we will start with the simplest - a plate with your own hands.
Master class for beginners - how to weave from willow. This is what willow branches look like. We will need several long twigs without leaves. (The quantity depends on the size of the desired bowl)
You will find other crafts from branches here. We will put 5 twigs together and tie them in the middle with a rope. Next, we need to start weaving from another branch - alternately passing under the branch, then over the branch.
To weave it was easier and we got the shape of a bowl, we need to tie the ends of the rods with a rope.
If gaps form between the rods, compact them down.
When we reach the desired height, startbend the remaining rods (they must first be cut off) and attach them to the base (inserting between the finished rows). Also, if you want to make your bowl a little thicker, you can not cut off the remaining rods, and also put them into use, weaving them in a row in a circle.
Place a heavy object on it to make the base of your craft stronger.
The rods will be dry in 2-3 weeks.
