Great service, supporting video and basket. Would definitely recommend.

We believe anyone can learn to make anything, and that learning to make things will change your life, just like it did for us.
Doing something with your hands builds confidence, self-reliance and a sense of purpose that you can't get from anything else.

Our beautiful, in-depth video courses take all the pain out of getting started - plus they can be viewed on any device from anywhere in the world.
At My Own 2 Hands, our mission is to bring the incredible benefits of learning to make things to as many people as possible.
For tens of thousands of years, humans made almost everything they owned themselves. Many of us still feel an innate urge to make something with our hands; it’s a fundamental part of being human. But sadly, nowadays, most of us can't!
The benefits of learning to make things are incredible. Every time we make something something, our minds improve, leaving us better and more capable and than when we began. It builds confidence, self-reliance and even a sense of meaning and purpose that we can’t get from anything else.

Really pleased with how this one turned out, the best one I have done so far. The only problem I had was that I could not do the cranking. I have tried several times but still cannot get the hang of it. Molly’s instructions excellent as usual 🙂
Absolutely loved making my basket. 😍 The tutorial is easy to understand and in perfect sections so it doesn’t feel like it’s too much in one sitting.
We had fun making the baskets! However they don’t really resemble the image or the end product as in the instruction video! 😝……. Making them did take longer than we thought too! On the whole though a nice shared experience and we do have a basket to show for it! 🥹
I made the asymmetric basket with a friend. We bought the two for one offer. The materials send were good quality and the video instructions were superb. It took us longer than we thought it would (a day and a half) and it was physically more demanding than you would think, but we loved making these. It’s a wonderful thing to do with a friend. I would highly recommend.
I had a lot of fun with this kit. I’m pretty crafty and can follow instructions. I remade my base but I’m not sure it made a lot of difference to the overall basket. The shape came out great. The hardest part I had was with soaking the willow. Even with max hours and resting overnight, some of my thicker reeds weren’t very bendy. I didn’t have a container big enough to soak my basket before the final steps so I did end up with some split reeds on my top border. The biggest hurdle was the difference in reed length with the US kit vs what was happening in the instructions. I watched all the videos before I started so I knew how to handle weaving in new reeds before the video got to that part. All said, I have a beautiful basket that I can brag I made myself and I’m going to try and make something small with the remaining willow.
Loved making this! Ordered more willow reeds to make a second one.
This was my very first try at weaving. As you can see I was having a hard time with the branches bending into a 90° angle instead of a smooth curve. I don't know if I soaked them too long or what. 🫤
Excellent course!!! Love my 1st basket!!
Superb course, easy to follow and plenty of spare willow. Great value, fast delivery and hilarious emails!
Loved making the basket I have another larger one to make . Instructions were really good and took you through the process step by step. Easy to rewind and rewatch if I didn’t understand. It’s a lovely project
I have put a house plant in it. The whole experience took us 2 long days - with highs and lows - but we did it!!!
It’s now hanging in the tree, and I made some stars out of the leftovers…
The course was easy to follow, sadly the climate and lack of humidity resulted in the willow drying out whilst being handled. I manage to overcome the issue by re soaking everything, including the half finished basket. Not my best attempt but very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next project. Thank you
Never done basket weaving before, girlfriend bought it for me as a birthday present. Online tutorials are very clear and easy to follow. My finished product isnt6 as tidy as the one in the videos but I still love it and loved making it. 10/10, would definitely recommend!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed making the Berry Basket with my daughter Sally Robinson who had the second kiit. Also with leftover willow I managed a second slightly smaller basket minus handle which will be a plant container. Carol Pickup
Excellent course and instruction, great basket, plenty of material supplied. Slow in delivery though.
This was my first basket. It is far from perfect but I love it! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I didn’t let my thick rods mellow enough after soaking and they split and snapped. I reached out to the company and they graciously sent me more. Top notch customer service. I can’t wait to make more baskets!
This is my 2nd willow basket kit. And a much more successful build. I like working with this type of willow over the buff.
This was an excellent challenge. I did the large market basket. Still have the handles to put on. It is beautiful! I will be gifting it to my Daughter and son-in-law for their 9th wedding anniversary( the willow anniversary). Took all day but so worth it. This is my second basket from MyTwoHands. So so happy with this company and love the fantastic teaching videos. Thank you.
Love it!
We loved these kits!! I bought a few to make with my mom and sisters and we made a whole afternoon out of it. The video instructions were so well done and easy to follow. They made this project very approachable. This was my first go in wicker crafts, and I have a feeling it won’t be my last. Thank you!
I really enjoyed making the Star from this kit. The videos are really straight forward and easy to follow with lots of tips and tricks. I can’t wait to have time to try the other two items in this bundle. Highly recommend!
Super fun and I was pleased with the finished support!
Really enjoyed making them and using them! Willow is amazing material. Instructions clear and so friendly. I used the swimming pool to soak and sat in it while weaving. 👍🏽 thank you for sharing this beauseiful craft with us. 🙏🏽
Making this basket was tough but so much fun. The tutorial videos were amazing! Very very helpful. My only issue would be with the length of the willow rods. I have a feeling it would be an easier go of it they were the full 6 foot length but completely understand the need to make them shorter to keep shipping costs down. I think my next basket will be a lot easier now that I know what to expect and do. Really looking forward to it! And I love that I made it with my own two hands. 😉
The video instructions made learning the process easy and fun. I was really pleased with the end product!
Absolutely love my new hobby, my husband bought me the swallows and bird feeder course for my birthday, since then I’ve been hooked. The course is easy to follow, and well filmed. Broken down in easy to follow steps. It’s also helped my mental health immensely, you get into a lovely rhythm weaving willow.
I have been wanting to learn this craft since my trip to England in 2012! The videos were very clear and understandable. I decided to glue some oasis foam bricks in a circle onto a piece of heavy cardboard and construct the plant support by turning the board that was on my table. (This saved my knees and back!) I used the screwdriver to assist pushing the stakes into the soil afterwards. What a beautiful addition to the landscape!!
I had a lot of fun making this project. The instruction videos were a great help and very well done. I can’t lie and say it wasn’t a little frustrating at times but that was my own fault. I am a pretty crafty person and even I got confused and had to start over a few times! Once I got the hang of it it went very quickly and looks great! I ordered a second kit and also a willow basket kit and have referred a few friends who have purchased kits as well! Keep the projects coming!
I had such a lovely time making the bird feeder. The video workshop was good to watch with very clear instructions. I will definitely make more.
I am so proud of my oval basket. The production quality of the instruction videos is so high and the instructor is calm and encouraging. I would recommend watching each section through before you actually do that part of the construction so that you know what’s coming. I expected my basket to be much more wonky. In spite of some minor mistakes, I think it’s gorgeous. This company is one that we all want to keep in business. I look forward to my next project.
This plant support was my second project from My Own 2 hands and something I’d always wanted for my garden. I’ve been attempting to make these without any instruction for years and my projects have turned out extremely primitive. This plant support is gorgeous. I love this company and will continue to buy projects.
This was the largest basket I have ever made. The instruction was easy to follow. I love getting willow shipped to my door.
Super fun. Beautiful end product.
The kit is fantastic and the instruction videos were super helpful! I was frustrated with the snapping of the willow along the way, especially with the tray, which required more flexibility. I followed the soaking directions for the star and then soaked even longer for the tray but still had snapping issues. It could fully be my experience and environment but I was not able to get the willow to be flexible enough.
Definitely harder than the woman in the tutorial made it look my material wasn’t the same as she was using so as you can see from my attempt definitely didn’t turn out as it should
Fun but more challenging than I thought. Definitely would improve with practice.
Like the instruction videos! Made the making of the forage basket interesting! Now I have made one want to make another but will wait till the weather isn't as hot! Hopefully the willow won't dry as quickly.
The instruction videos are really good always interesting and helpful! It was very hot when I was making this basket! I gave the willow extra soaking time and kept it damp but it still dried quickly! By the time I put the handle on the willow was crunchy so doesn't look as good as it should! I have used the basket and it felt good!
