long basket from coffee bags

The cheerful yellow color of the Brazil coffee packets is a wonderful change to all the red and brown coffee packets. The middle part of the package is used for this basket, with black text and patterns on the back.

In the video you can see the cutting of the strips and the weaving of the square:

This basket consists of two 8×8 squares and two two corner pieces. The total amount of strips used for this basket is 60. The two corner pieces are at the ends of the oblong basket and the squares are in the middle. The seams in the basket hit the middle of the bottom along the entire length and vertically at both ends of the basket on the larger sides of the basket.

The pieces are connected with a black gift string, which has also been used to finish the edge hinges. The size of the basket is 11,5×7,5×22,5cm.

Of the previous Juhla Mokka bags, there were all the top edges of the coffee bags left. Some of the remaining pieces were enough for 6,8 cm strips, but the torn bags I had to cut strips 5,1 cm wide and weaved 6×8 and 8×8 squares and corner pieces.

In addition to the left over pieces, I cut strips from Juhla Mokka 100 g serving bags, of which I weaved 6×6 rectangular squares. This basket is based on a 6×6 square woven from Juhla Mokka bags. The sides consist of horizontal strips of 5 cm wide three-fold folded and vertical strips of 6,8 cm wide three-fold folded from the smaller sachets.

The end result is a high basket combined of two two-cornered pieces to store pens, for example. The second basket is long and narrow and stacked from two identical two-corner pieces and two 6×8 squares. The third basket is a combination of large and small Juhla Mokka bags slightly lower than a cube basket.
