From Kate Pullen, your About Arts & Crafts Editor
If you fancy turning your hands to something new, I've gathered together some interesting craft projects and tutorials for you this week. Learn how to weave miniature baskets, make your own molds and upcycle a t-shirt or two. Happy crafting! Kate

Make Woven Baskets
Many craft projects can be worked on a variety of scales including these woven basket projects. The techniques used are the same if you are working full scale with canes (which must be soaked first) or in miniature. Miniature projects are a great way to practice new techniques before moving onto bigger projects.
