Hi there,
Thanks for asking for feedback about the kits. Ive attched two photos..
Never having made anything from willow before! I made the tension tray first and really enjoyed making it! The course instructions were excellent and clear. I will say that I had trouble with the willow being flexible enough. In the end, it needed about 6 hours in water but I got there eventually! I used the basket course willow to make a few more trays plus a few wreaths for friends and family. I am completely hooked honestly! I attempted to make a basket using your instructions but with different willow. Again, great clear instructions, Im talking about willow all the time now, I just love it and want to improve with each make. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderfull heritage craft. All the best, Mel

Brilliant. Fantastic. Highly recommended
The videos were really easy to understand. They broke each step down into small easy to perform steps. The instructors say when something might be tricky so you can watch several times. The kit itself was brilliant with everything you need (bar the tools). Although not perfect it was really straightforward to produce a basket that was good enough for us and to give away. The support from the company is excellent.

I finally got the first of my baskets made!
Made a few tweaks, some by choice, others borne out of necessity ♀️
I've # myown2hands in the post on Facebook, so with luck you will be able to see it.
I've attached a few photos.
Thoroughly enjoyed making it and am now chomping at the bit to get started with the rest of them now!
I followed your tips with soaking and had a much better result this time too.
Thank you again for a great kit.

I was very excited to make my basket which was a totally challenging, absorbing and most enjoyable experience. My advice is to allow yourself lots of time, plan an easy dinner as it takes way longer than you think. Read the troubleshooting part before starting and make sure you acclimatise, soak and mellow long enough. I think I made every mistake and have the oddest shaped basket but I love it and can’t wait to try another one.

I managed to finish my basket and am chuffed to bits with it. To make something so solid and strong out of twigs is amazing. I’m so pleased. Here’s a photo of end result which has some interesting curves and shapes. I nearly gave up after the first French rand but gave it another go and tried to ease out my funny shapes. I’m so glad I did. Anyway thank you so much.

Great kit, good quality, arrived very quickly. Lessons were very informative.
Helen C.
What a great experience! I ordered the shopping basket kit and course (with a bonus free tension tray kit) and really enjoyed making it. I made the basket over the course of a weekend and the online step by step video lessons were easy to follow and full helpful tips. My basket is not perfect, but the first attempt at anything new rarely is. If you are looking to try something crafty I highly recommend trying a course from My Own 2 Hands.

I spent a very lovely Sunday finally working through the basket that Nick bought me for Christmas from My Own 2 Hands. My finished product is a little wonky from some angles but I really enjoyed it and want to do more!!
Julia strike
Ive made the tension tray so far and although it isn't perfect, I'm really pleased with it! I'd like to praise the teacher in the video, She is really easy to listen to and her intructions are clear. Go ahead and give it a go!
Victoria Mercer
Absolutely love the willow weaving courses! The tension tray was a great pleace to start and now I just have the handle to complete on my first basket. Cant WAIT to start my next project!
Nicole M.
I loved this basket course! The instructions and filming were clear and easy to follow and I like that I could revisit it when I wanted to make another basket for a friend. I'm looking forward to using my basket to pick fruit that I grow at home
Guy D.
I really enjoyed making the basket and also had a go at making a fruit basket using the principles I learned making to shopping basket. Picture attached. I wanted to see how much it would be to get a second and possibly third set of willow for the shopping basket course?”
Karen R.
I was given the course as a a wonderful Christmas gift. I have recommended you to many of my friends who were interested when they saw my basket. Thank you so much for facilitating this amazing course. I have nearly finished my basket and I am in love with willow basket weaving. Thank you again for providing the course, I don't have much time to go away on courses, so this was perfect. I have added a photo - It has many flaws and mistakes that I can see, but that makes it unique and I love it! I would love to have another go.
Lilla P.
I have just completed the willow tray and fruit basket courses. They are wonderful - informative and brilliantly put together to make even the beginner feel like a pro! My three projects are wonky and gorgeous and I think everyone should try willow work. It’s a therapeutic, physical, all embracing and remarkable skill. The instructions are clear and the instructors guide you every step of the way. 100% - have recommended to all my friends. Thank you ‘myowntwohands’
Nick M.
My First weaving project! Had a My Own 2 Hands weaving kit from Mum for Christmas. Really fun to do, With great video instructions. And the basket, Whilst not Exactly the right shape, is strong and will serve for many a foraging trip
Tracy R.
Slightly wonky but perfectly functional! Not bad for a first attempt), Brilliant kit and very east to follow tutorial
Jilly C.
I bought this recently and it was great fun. The learning videos are great as you can watch them a few times if you get stuck. I am delighted with my shopping basket and there were plenty of materials if you go a bit wrong. I think I'm hooked on Willow and looking to see what I can make next...Thank you

I just wanted to share with Amanda the course teacher how much I have loved her teaching, and making the shopping basket under her calm tutorage. I’ve had such a good experience I needed to share it with you. I’ve always wanted to do basket weaving and it the first time I’ve found the right combination of simpatico teacher with an affordable accessible approach that I can return to when I’ve got the time. I so loved the calming, centre-ing process and how it was hard work for the hands but kind on the rest of the body. And I LOVE my basket! As soon as I’d finished I picked it up and went to collect the last of my windfalls. Isn’t that an amazing moment?!
Lisajane
I gave my mum your shopping basket course for Christmas and have spent the last 2 days with her while she completed her basket. We had a really special time together and mum loved it. We chatted and laughed and swore once or twice I’ll admit! The videos were fabulous and set everything out brilliantly. The instruction was so soothing and unhurried making it all so easy to follow. I thought you might like to see the result - endearingly wonky! Thank you for a really special experience. We think we’ll do one each next time Best wishes, Lisajane
Joni R,
I finished my basket yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it, I will be ordering another kit soon. I was very impressed with the quality of the instruction. My husband was also impressed and is going to try the spoon carving course. The instruction was clear and we'll delivered. It felt like Amanda was in the room and she's a lovely presence to spend time with. I will definitely be making more baskets in the future. This one will come foraging with me in the summer. Thank you for helping me develop a new set of skills, it's given me great pleasure.

Enjoy my photos, as I look forward to heading to Clitheroe Market with my new basket.
Justine whitaker
Thank you so much for making the online shopping basket course so easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable Amanda. I’ve loved making my basket. There are things I know how to ‘tweak’ when I make a second one… which I know I will as I’m now hooked !!! The fact that you can dib in and out of the videos and use them over and over again is brilliant. Family now have there bath too
Gavin M.
My wife Melinda was delighted with her shopping basket and tray, and is very much looking forward to starting work… well, starting weaving.
