Through YouTube, I got a wish for projects more suitable for beginners, and here is one smaller project, for which you don’t have to collect coffee bags for years. This small basket is woven from Paulig’s Brazil coffee bags, of which only 16 were used in total.
From each of the coffee bags, 2 pieces of 10,7 cm wide strips have been cut, which when folded twice are 3,6 cm wide. The strips on the upper edges of the coffee bags are woven in a monochrome yellow zigzag and the lower edges in a yellow and black textural zigzag.
The zigzag layers are connected with a curling ribbon. The slats on the upper edge of the basket are turned and the slats on the bottom edge are connected to each other.

The height of the finished basket is approx. 16 cm and the size of the base is 10,5 x 10,5 cm.
