24 - Basketry

Merit Badge:  Basketry
Counselor:  Leena Harral
Sponsor:  American Fork Fitness Center
Earned:  February 10, 2011


                      WEB:  What did I have to do to earn this merit badge?


Say "Hi"  to Leena Harral, Merit Badge
Counselor, who taught me all I know about basketry.

Loop the reed through...

...and pull.

For my second project, I made this basket using
two different colors.

Leena taught me that it is important to soak
the basket in water so that the reeds are easier to bend.

I thought the basket turned out really nice-
especially considering this was my first attempt.

For my last project I made this stool.
Basketry is a lot of fun.
