Making Dish Basket

Hexagonal is one of the basic patterns in bamboo baskets.

It covers a large area with minimum material,

maximizing the advantage of higo, the thin elastic material made of bamboo.

The pattern is primarily composed of triangles

and a hexagon is the minimum pattern.

The bottom is usually woven from the center to outward.

Bend the sides to form corners

and weave up the body part

You can also attach the rim to finish a basic hexagonal basket,

but instead a hoop is inserted to continue making a dish basket.

Fold higos and insert them back into the body.

Fix the end.

Attach the rim

and fix it with rattan.

Turn it upside down.

The rim became the leg part to lift the bottom

so that the dishes dry quickly.
