Vine blank

If you are still just a newbie in the art of weaving from the vine, then we will not hurry the events and consider each stage alternately. The first thing to pay attention to is on the quality of the material with which to work.

Having the opportunity to prepare the vine for weaving, consider the following:

The most favorable time for cutting the twigs is winter;
Prefer only rided wood, this can be determined by the formed top of the plant;
It is very important to check the material on the brittleness. For this, just bend the rod 180 degrees. If he remains integer, know, such a workpiece is quite suitable for highly artistic weaving.

Will not work much work to buy a lot in the nearest flower shop. Before buying, it will not be superfluous to make sure of the goods, no one is insured from marriage.

With the workpiece figured out. Now it’s time to move to action. In order for your creative gust to eat after the first job, start with a simple. Try weighting a basket. She is always useful in the farm, and its execution technique is simple.

Weaving technique

Form of your product depends on the laying of the rod. And such technician a lot.

I want to tell about the most applied of them:

Simple weaving is when the twig alternately by means of all the racks. Alternating outdoor and inside. Very common weaving method among beginners;
Double weaving. We begin as with the single one, then each subsequent twig is pressed the previous one and remove a little upstairs. A peculiar wave is formed;
Three twigs. This method will not cause difficulties if you at least once in the life of a moster. The essence of the same. The first number is single weaving, and then gradually add on a twist. Bring to the quantity we need and braid a pigtail;
Edge. As a rule, it is formed from the remaining not involved racks. We take each one of them and alternately wrap the product inside. It is necessary to act as accurately as possible so that the rods remain entire. For the manufacture of edges you can also use the technique «hoop», The most used when designing wicker furniture. Take a vine with a diameter of 12-15 mm, retreating a little from the edge, make a shallow incision and start gradually to give it a circle shape. For fixing two ends, the wire or strong rope is suitable. In the process of processing, you can easily decorate them;
The handle is the most tender part, as a rule, it is she who comes into disrepair of the first. Therefore, a fat rod is always taken as the basis, without signs of previously existing bitch on it. Handle length is equal to half the perimeter of the product. For the feet of the handle, use the maximum long branches, so it will look neat. Castle is a part that connects the handle with your product. Sprigs that are as close as possible to the handle begin alternately to fly first right to left and vice versa. Ultimately, you get a pattern that remotely resembling a star. From the number of such turns, the strength of the attachment of the handle, which means its service life.

At each stage of weaving must be remembered. Before using the plant material, it should be pre-soaked in warm water. So you will betray him flexibility. What will greatly facilitate the subsequent work with him.

Weave basket from a vine

Before you start work, you must decide for yourself, what kind of your product will have. I’m talking about the shape of a bottom, which can be round or oval, and about the amount. Basket large or medium size. It is necessary in order to roughly calculate the required number of prutics to perform work.

This is done as follows:

Ronyshko is formed from 25-35 pcs. Prurtkov, the diameter of which is 3-4 mm, and 8 sticks of 6 mm;
Stoics – 15 basic and 15 auxiliary, the thickness of which is 4-5 mm;
For the waters of the side part, the number of rods will depend on the weaving technique you use;
rope twigs whose thickness should not exceed 4 mm;
one rod 10 mm for handle;
necessarily spare twists.

Main steps

Start work need from weaving. The most common sizes of major rods are 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5. The distance between the racks depends on their number. The more their pure, the more dense the rods will lie. The aesthetic type of basket depends on their adjudication. Fold the main rods crosswise and begin to fly them;
When Dysheko is ready, gently cut all sticking tips. Then proceed to the racks;
Placing racks immediately fix them with special ropes ropes. Start from the bottom and continue to move to the bend place;
Forming the side part of it can be performed by using one type of weaving, and it is not allowed to combine various techniques. It all depends on your skill and fantasy. The number of layers will depend on the intended basket height;
When the sides are ready, carefully cut off all the irregularities and fix the ropes.
We form beng. The most common is «Kosichka»;
At the final stage, we make a bag of baskets from the vine. We take the most thick branch and fix it with the ropes as closely. We carry out this process high quality and carefully. If you want a basket to serve you for a long time. And did not fail at the most responsible moment;
Having finished work, handle the basket with a brush and open a lacquer for a tree. It will enjoy it and give natural shine.
