Happy Valentine’s Day–Tuesday Tips

 

TUESDAY TIPS –In honor of Valentine’s Day, this Tuesday Tips is about making a heart shaped basket.

You can weave them out of birch bark as I did for a  basketry class a few years ago.

    Hi Cathryn – that is a traditional Danish Christmas heart. Most often made from shiny coloured paper and hung as ornaments on the Christmas tree. Love the birch bark one.
