Yesterday my class made flax baskets with flax. Some of the seniors from the Ruma Kereru helped us make our flax baskets. First, we had to put down seven flax pieces going upward then five pieces of flax going under over, under over, under over until you get to the end of the flax do under over to the other four pieces. When you have finished making the mat of your flax basket get the flax sticking out of the side of one of the sides and bunch up the flax pieces you have that you got from the side of the mat and get a piece of spare flax and tie it around the flax that you bunched up do the same to the other side. Next, get some flax that is sticking out of the other sides of the mat do that to both sides. Lastly, make the handle by getting the pieces of flax that were bunched up and tied together with another piece of flax and twist the pieces of flax together that got tied with another piece of flax and your flax basket will be finished. Have you ever made flax baskets before? Do you want to make flax baskets?
