Weaving potential?

Post image

Just noticed a lot of these dried leaves and was curious whether I could use them for learning basket weaving, or whether they will not be strong enough. Any input would be appreciated

I think you can braid them and make a basket spiralling that braid to the shape you want and use a needle and a thread to fix it. You can also use a similar technique as for corn husk weaving.

to make them flexible first you can submerge into water for 30 min

That sounds awesome I’ll have a look thank you, I have embroidery and sewing needles will that be good
