An oval wicker basket

Baskets are usually made from native natural materials. Wicker is a common material in Britain, and it is also a common material in North America. Strip of bulrush, bamboo rattan or weeds together can make a basket, but change the technique can make up all the beauty of the basket, but also can be dyed, create bright patterns.

Another way to make baskets is to turn the rushes or weeds into plaits, into a shape, and then sew them together. This is the most popular method for native americans in North America.

Under the sands of the Nile delta, a basket made of winding and weaving has been found. The oldest basket was made in 3000 BC. These baskets are well preserved, proving that the egyptians are masters of the basket.
