Basket weaving is an old handicraft, but basketware has never gone out of fashion. After all, renewable raw materials, the environment and furniture made of natural material are an important topic. Many rehab facilities offer basket weaving with rattan, as it trains the mobility and motor skills of hands and fingers and also contributes to relaxation. You will find with us rattan of a great first-class red ribbon quality, in various thicknesses, as well as pre-drilled MDF basket bottoms, rattan splints and rattan flat reeds. Whether for fruit and vegetables, newspapers or the timber stock for the furnace, baskets are available in the most diverse variations. With the rattan splints or reeds, you can easily and quickly weave customized items, such as a braided bauble equipped with a string of lights - a great decorative element. You can also create great gifts that you can be proud of. The instructions and examples of handicrafts can be found on the Internet. Before processing, the rattan should always be soaked to make it elastic for braiding. The rattan is extracted from the tropical climbing palm Calamus Rotang. The spiny outer spathe is removed after harvesting and the inner spathe is used to make the reed which is flat on both sides. From the next layer, curved on one side, are made the rattan splints.
