Once you learn the coiling technique, making this miniature basket is easy. If you don't know how to coil yet, this free course will teach you.

I used cotton embroidery floss for the green rinds.

The top basket used a thicker inner coil, so I thought the little black seed beads looked best on it.

The bottom basket was for my daughter, and she liked the long beads, I think she was right!

 I blended two shades of red floss - I like the mottled effect!

Here’s an inside look at the top basket, I sewed seed beads inside it too. 

I added a strand of red novelty rayon weaving yarn to the floss, the loopiness added a nice texture.
