Weave Your Own Small Round Rattan Basket — Start to Finish in a Weekend
A beginner basketry kit for making a beautiful, versatile small round basket. Use it as a planter, fruit bowl, or keepsake holder. All materials included.
Product Description:
A small round basket is one of those things that finds a use in every room. On the kitchen counter. Next to the sink. On a bedside table. In the bathroom. Once you've made your own, you'll want to make six more.
This beginner kit gives you pre-cut rattan, a pre-drilled base, and a step-by-step video tutorial that takes you from your first soaked cane to a finished, beautiful basket. No prior craft experience needed — just a few hours, a bowl of water, and the patience to enjoy the process.

FAQ — Small Round Basket
How is this different from the Bread Basket kit? The Small Round Basket is slightly smaller and uses a different weaving pattern — a classic round stake-and-strand weave. Both are beginner level. Many customers buy both and do them as a pair.
Can I use this as a plant pot? Yes — it works brilliantly as a plant pot cover. Line it with a plastic inner pot or a liner to protect the rattan from direct watering.
Is the finish natural or treated? The rattan is left natural and untreated — it's a sustainable, undyed material. If you'd like a coloured finish, we sell rattan bundle packs separately that include dyed options.
