[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Reviewing how to coil a basket

[Bernice Bird]

It would be cool if someone could teach a class on coiling or basket making.
I remember making a basket in school decades ago. I loved it. It was a craft
that had good success pretty quickly for me. There are so many things to do
with baskets including putting hostess and/or Christmas presents in. OH,
Dear, I'm getting excited. So if someone could teach it, I would appreciate
it.
Bernice

Start from the bottom. I would use two hoops personally, but believe that is
up to you.
