Product Description

At Traditional Craft Kits we believe that people have enormous creative potential. With our kits we challenge people to expand their comfort zone and turn raw materials into pieces of art. We know that this process is good, healthy and necessary for people and society.

Our mission is to keep traditional crafting relevant in our modern world. We offer a product line that teaches hands-on skills, sparks creativity and inspires appreciation for handmade arts.

We have developed a line of craft kits that brings together the symbolism and designs found in many cultures by applying them to the art of basket making, pottery and other craft techniques. We have chosen crafts that are fun, educational and challenging. Learning these traditional skills opens up a whole new and fulfilling world of creativity. Basketry is not an easy craft. With time you can develop your skill at a traditional craft. You will be proud of your achievement.

  • Kits come with the materials you need to make the product shown on the cover of the kit booklet.
  • Learn all four methods of basketry: Coiled, Plaited, Twined and Wicker. Plus two coiling variations: Wrap Stitch and Pine Needle.
  • Enjoy about hours of fun while learning a new craft skill!
  • Kits are packed in plastic bags that can be used to store materials while you make your basket
  • Each kit is hand packed in USA in a small family business with high quality recycled paper materials from USA, raffia from Madagascar, hand gathered pine needles from downed trees in California, steel needles from England, printed in USA.

I have tested these kits with my own children. Basketry is a very mindful activity and a very rewarding skill to achieve. I have been making baskets since I was 13 years old. These kits are teaching skills, along with patience and perseverance. Traditionally plant materials are used to make baskets. Gathering and preparing materials takes longer than the making of a basket. With these affordable materials you can learn to weave, and later if you desire, you can explore other materials to weave with.

I bought this as project for an arts and crafts class I host. I do not have experience in basketry so this was my first time. I’d have to say that for someone who has not done any basket making the approximate completion time is off by at least an hour. I am a crafty person and this was difficult for me. My basket used needle and thread and I had to stop because my thumb was so sore. The material quality seemed good. And each basket kit was individually packed with its directions so it was nice and organized. And the variety of techniques was nice. The company has videos online to help which is nice. I do think it was a bit overpriced though. I do not recommend this for kids our gathering had teens and adults and we were struggling. Be aware these baskets are tiny.

I liked each basket kit was packaged separately. I bought these for our son who said he wanted to. learn how to weave a basket. I bought your package of 8 different types of baskets. I think he will enjoy them.

Yes, the baskets are tiny, but I think I would have given up starting on something larger. My baskets don’t quite look like the photos in the instructions, but I did finish them. The instructions are simple, have larger print and lots of photos. You can make 6 different baskets using 6 different techniques and different materials. The kit may seem expensive, but they provide everything, including a needle with each basket so more than one person can participate at the same time. If you are trying to decide if basket making is for you, I highly recommend this set.

My wife and I did a date night where we were crafting and watching movies. Once you get a rhythm going, they come together quickly, but the baskets are quite small.

The baskets are very small, although this is only listed in photos (that I cannot read from my phone), not in the product description or item specifics. Took longer than expected to ship, materials not high quality, breaking as I weave and had to purchase hemp/jute elsewhere as well as tapestry needle and stalks. Good to learn how to make baskets but not worth the money for a 2" basket that falls apart and some materials are bad upon opening. Instructions could be more clear. Too many bad surprises upon receiving package, not satisfied. I wanted to give it a chance and try a basket anyways and try to leave a good review, but after the first basket I'm wishing I would have just returned it entirely.

At first I almost didn't buy this kit after finding out the baskets were small, but in the end I think it's a great idea. It allowed my daughter to master the technique and complete a project in 1 to 2 days. Plus she loves the small size. It's cute.
