Paper String Basket with Lining

I tried my hands at weaving a basket.

Material used is made of 12 paper string sticking together; bought from Daiso. You can cut or tear according to the thickness you want. There's a instruction that comes with it, however in Japanese. I didn't follow according to the illustration provided and did the basket my own way.

The end product is not perfect but it will do for a first timer. However, I did find the inside of the basket really ugly. Hence, I did a lining for it to cover the ugliness up.

A roll of this weaving band can make a basket slightly bigger than what I did as I still have some leftover after finishing the basket.

I did this for a wonderful teacher who will be leaving after tomorrow. Hopefully, we will be able to see him back in school after his studies. He will be dearly missed.

I'm not very good coming up with ideas for guy's stuff so I thought I'll attempt to do name weaving on a pen. Passable results, I think. Hopefully, he likes it.
