This kit is intended for intermediate skill level; someone who has already made a beginner coiled basket. This basket will take approximately 6 to 8 hours to complete and it is recommended to stitch in several sessions, taking frequent breaks. Coiling is a basketry method where one material is wrapped around another in a spiral. Generally the materials used for wrapping are soft and flexible while the coil can be a bit more rigid. These instructions will teach you how to coil a shallow tray shaped basket with the design of a turtle. The instructions include interesting facts about turtle symbolism and importance. Basketry requires patience and perseverance. Keep at it and you will be proud of your improved skills and finished basket. Kits are packed in plastic bags that can be used to store materials while you make your basket.
