In this workshop, you'll learn how to make unique, plush rugs and baskets by braiding fabric strips in a spiral pattern. As you continue braiding, your project will grow in size from the center out. You'll learn how to shape your braiding to form a basket, and you'll learn how to keep it flat if you plan to make a rug.
You'll learn different ways to join the ends of your fabric strips as your project keeps growing to any size you can imagine! Finally, you'll learn how to elegantly finish the final edge of your project. You'll leave with a completed or work-in-progress rug or basket, and with skills to create them in a variety.
Perfect for anyone looking for easy DIY projects, fun things to do in Chicago, or who is into sustainable home decor, this is the perfect workshop to spend a creative afternoon in!
