Scandinavian Woven Heart Baskets

Basic pattern
Heart pattern
I've been meaning to try this craft since Christmas. These are usually made smaller to hang on Christmas trees and traditional colors are red and white. I chose foam material to make these because I thought it would last longer but would not recommend it. It was very hard to weave this material and my 6 year old niece couldn't do it. I used this template from the Family Fun site. We might try some heavy construction paper next time.

I like the heart pattern! Hadn't seen that before. I wonder if it could become an Easter activity. Hmmm....
