What you need...

instructions

1. Step One - Cut tracing paper to fit one side of a wooden box, planter or bin. Use a soft pencil to draw a basket weave pattern (ours is a ribbon weave which is the simple weaving under and over of raffia) on the tracing paper. Tape the paper in position and trace the pattern down.

2. Step Two - Fix the supplied Engraving Cutter 107 into the Dremel Hobby 7700 and carve the pattern, then add detail to the carving with the Dremel Hobby 7700 and the supplied engraving cutter 106.

If you want to attach the basket to the bicycle or garden wall, drill two holes in the top sides of the panier using the Dremel 7700 and a wood drill bit. Then attach with strong metal clips. Alternatively, stand the basket to one side of the bicycle to form a ‘picture’ on the wall of your courtyard. Then, either place chicken wire into the internal space within the wooden panier and create a cut flower display – or fill the box with soil and plant with lovely roses and trailing ivy!
