Preparing the cane In addition to the
VBS craft kit rattan cane "Handkerchief basket", you only need
a side cutter or sturdy scissors to cut the rattan cane to the required length.
rattan cane is a natural wickerwork material made from the inside of the rattan palm. It is stable, flexible and ideal for baskets.
Weaving the basket Weave the basket step by step according to the enclosed instructions. Make sure to guide the rattan cane evenly so that the shape of the handkerchief basket is clean and stable. Take your time - working calmly, especially when weaving, ensures a beautiful result.
Spray the rattan cane-basket with paint Before you color your woven basket, check that the surface
is dry and free of dust and grease. Only then can the paint adhere evenly and create a clean finish.
First remove the lid and then the spray head from the spray can. There is a safety ring underneath, which you carefully remove with scissors or a pointed object. Then replace the spray head and the cap.
Shake the spray can vigorously for about 3 minutes so that the paint mixes well. Spray the basket evenly from all sides. It is best to work in several thin layers.
The paint is
dust-dry after approx.
3 minutes and
completely dry after approx.
30 minutes. The exact Time to dry: depends on the thickness of the layer and the ambient temperature.
Additional protection for your wicker basket If you wish, you can also coat your handkerchief basket with a
basket and cane varnish. This protects the material, makes the surface more resistant and ensures that you can enjoy your homemade wicker basket for a long time.
