Weaving With Paper Rope by Dennison Manufacturing Company circa 1922

Basketry

A guide on weaving baskets with paper rope and wire via 1922.

Note on the text regarding the arrowhead stitch on page 27. This is a very common basketry weave, and if you decide to use it please do not call it Native American “inspired” or “Indian design” basketry. There are hundreds of different tribes, with many of the designs specific to those tribes and to the regions. Purchase baskets from actual Indigenous owned stores instead instead of giving money to people who steal, stereotype, and monetize another’s culture, or making “inspired” creations yourself that do the same.
