Here's a handy tip for getting small baskets started with delicate weavers!

The photos show our Christmas Ornament Basket set up on a styrofoam cup so that even a child can weave it. Use an awl to poke holes for the groups of spokes. Run the spokes through the holes and now you have an easy to hold "basket starter." Once the basket is finished, just tear the styrofoam cup out of the basket. Easy!
