Daffodil season is drawing to a close which means harvesting and preserving the leaves and stalks for weaving projects! It's become a family affair to collect the leaves so that I can dry them and create cordage and basketry projects.
Join me as I gather, dry and store these leaves. I decided to incorporate the cordage in a fun new project that I'm calling my gardening hat. I was inspired by my aunt's fun sunhat, Huckleberry Finn and the fact that I intend to spend many hours enjoying the garden this year. Enjoy this relaxing weaving project as I share the steps to creating my first woven hat!
The techniques I used on this woven hat come from basket weaving techniques. What I wear as a hat could just as well be upside down and used as a basket. It's really fun realizing all the things you can make with simple techniques and creativity.
