Hubby's Handmade Straw Baskets

James is not one to just sit still and being down has been really hard on him. He decided to make some baskets. He taught himself how to weave the baskets a couple years ago after seeing a display
of baskets at the visitor center at the Big Thicket National Forest. He made a couple baskets and then watched a couple youtube videos and changed his technique in which he likes much better. He has made several thus far. This is a tortilla basket. The lid fits well on the basket because he put a rim on the bottom side of the lid so it would fit into the basket.  He has done an amazing job.  Pretty impressive to this ol' gal.
 
If you look closely, you can see the rim on the lid.
