3. Woven Grass Baskets
Woven grass baskets are functional and decorative pieces that bring a natural, earthy texture to interiors. They can be used for storage, plant holders, or as standalone decor. Using local grasses or raffia provides a sustainable approach while supporting traditional craft techniques.
Preparation Materials and Use:
- Natural grasses, raffia, or seagrass
- Scissors and weaving needles
- Glue or natural twine for securing edges
To create a basket, soak the grasses to increase flexibility. Start with a base weave, adding layers upward to form sides. Secure the edges with twine or glue for durability. These baskets are ideal for holding blankets, magazines, or indoor plants. Their warm tones and intricate patterns enrich cozy corners and minimalist spaces, adding texture without overwhelming the decor.
