This short workshop will focus on a basic basket-weave technique while creating a charming candle basket for you to keep. A small glass jar candle ('Yankee' style candle) will fit perfectly inside (candle not included). The basket will be woven on a round, solid wood base. Using a simple wicker-plaiting technique for the basket, the top is completed with scalloped edging.

All supplies are provided and several color choices will be available. This workshop is perfect for anyone who is interested in the basics of basket weaving!
