Wicker very harmoniously complement any interior.To create the spectacular scenery you need to have experience.The article will be considered one of the ways of how to perform a wicker basket willow.
To work required to prepare material in advance.Cut the bars to be processed.In the first phase release from the husk (debarking).If the willow branches were cut in the spring, no problem.Otherwise, soak them in cold water, put it loosely coupled beam to a depth of 15 cm. Perform the procedure preferably in a warm room or in the summer on the banks of a river or lake.When the crust starts to be removed, the material is ready.You can prepare the bars and in another way: completely immerse them in a metal pot with water and boil.Or by using a special machine.Weaving willow with their own hands - a fascinating process.Let's look at it in more detail:
1. To create an oval bottom take a rod of great length and bending it over his knee, twisted and form a circle.
2. With the second sprigs strengthens created detail obvivaya it.It is necessary to monitor the uniformity of thickness.
3. Using the following twig create curled diameter of the circle, constricting her so as to form an oval size.After fixation, the need to check the symmetry with a ruler.
4. In order to properly perform the weaving willow baskets, you need to take two groups of 4 twig and put one under the curled diameter (perpendicular to) the right of the center of the bottom, and the other - above it to the left side, leaving at regular intervals.
5. Then turn twigs inserted parallel to the diameter of a twisted and tightly to him: first under the right group of tubes on top of the beam to the left, and then give birth to a twig at the bottom of the rim.Under the same scheme to insert the rest of the bars, alternating direction.
6. Approaching the edges need to cut branches from a group of tubes so that they do not interfere with the bottom of the form.
7. Raise stanchions and provide support: the handles for future - 4 twig on each side, to the other - on the 2. There should be 18 feet.
8. Trim the twigs (if needed), forming the stanchions walls, tie them on top.
9. inserting new willow twigs begin to criss-cross the wall, using the preferred pattern (weave through one rack, layering, etc..).Increase their trimmed by imposing one end to the other, overlapping 3-4 rack.Wicker baskets from willow looks spectacular, if you use contrasting shades of bars, such as a light-yellow and brown.
10. When you reach the desired height form the base of the handle.To do this, take a thick reed stick, sharpen the ends and coat them with wax.Then threaded through the recess next to the small stands, placing in the middle.
11. Next, form Bending without touching four rod on both sides of the handle.To do this, one branch wire inside the basket, and two outside, creating a whorl.
12. Trim the ends inside basket.
13. With four bars, the remaining sides, obkrutit basis for handles on each side.
14. Create your own tips for turning-created and carefully cut them.
When completed willow wicker basket, the product can be colored using both artificial and natural dyes: onion peel, potassium permanganate, and some plants.To improve the aesthetic appearance and safety of the work covered a good varnish.In such an algorithm is executed making baskets from the vines.
