Aug 08, 2023
Weaving
Weaving willow baskets is a traditional handicraft, which can not be replaced by machines at present.
The wicker will be woven into various shapes according to the order.
Rinsing and Drying
We need to spray the baskets and wash them after weaving, then dry them.
Dyeing and drying
If you want to change the color of the basket, we need to dye or spray the color.
The cost of painting is relatively high, and it needs plastic bag packaging, because the paint is easier to fall off, so it needs careful packaging.
Dyeing is usually done in a hot pool with dye to make the desired color. It usually doesn't fade after dyeing. It is also necessary to soak the varnish to fix the color, and then drying the basket again.
Fabric cutting
While weaving the basket, we can prepare the cloth, some baskets have cooler bags, mats, and napkins, so we need to calculate the total amount of lining in advance, and cut it according to the size.
Fixing the position of leather
The leather used to hold the cutlery and dishes in the basket is fixed by wooden boards. The craftsman will make the boards according to the length and specifications of different cutlery.
Wooden boards will be wrapped in lining and then nailed with a hammer.
installing accessories
Install the clasps, handles, or straps to the basket or lid.
Sewing baskets
Sewing the finished parts to the basket by hands.
packing
Once the baskets are finished, they will be sent to the packing shop where the cutlery and all accessories are assembled and distributed.
And then we will pack them according to clients requirements.
