Loved the process, although it came out bit wonky
Catherine L.
Great craft, easy to follow instructions. Then made some flowers and a dragon fly with the left over sticks.
Susan M.
We thought that the tutorial was brilliant thanks. However we found that the willow sticks were too thick compared to those in the video. I soaked them for nearly two weeks, far longer than suggested, but they were still too tough to handle. You can see from my video how thick they were and that they didn’t bend properly when weaving the hole. We had to stop the tutorial half way through to resoak them. Thanks.

First attempt not great but I really enjoyed making it and learnt a lot to improve on second one. It's good to learn a new skill even at the age of 72.

Purchased as a birthday present for a friend. She loves it!
Anthony M.
Great product, haven’t had a chance to make it yet. Very well put together, impressed that you have everything you need.
Sue R.
We found the experience enjoyable but rather difficult . I just didn’t have the strength .
Davina W.
The video tuition was pretty clear and I enjoyed the making process.
Joan P.
Really enjoyed spending a few hours making this with hubby. Not perfect, but very happy with it, especially having had a few visitors!
Looking forward to making the willow star next.
Maria N.
Great course. Well explained, step by step instructions. Not skimpy with the materials. My husband and I did the nesting box together. Great fun
Jo L.
Loved my willow birds nest kit- Clear and easy to follow instruction and enough willow to make a second nest!
( I will be buying more!)
Janet S.
Loved it but not as refined as your lovely example but Hubbie and I had a great day doing something together
Val G.
Excellent enjoyed making it
Alison S.
I bought this kit for my friend that had just retired. We made them together and thoroughly enjoyed. Tutorial went at the perfect speed and took you through it step by step.
Pam G.
Excellent easy to understand instructions. Great quality materials. Really enjoyed making this and am trying to decide which one to make next!
Isobel H.
hard on the thumbs but worth it
Tracy J.
I absolutely loved making these bird nesting boxes, I definitely prefer to work with brown willow, they turned out bigger than probably should have just need to work on making the base cup a bit smaller but that will come with practice, thank you.
I really do enjoy your courses
Maggie S.
This was a completely new craft for me and I enjoyed doing it. However the major flaw was at the end when doing the plait. All the weavers broke at the critical point so I had to make the plait with just 6 weavers rather than 9. I'm not sure what I could do to prevent this happening.

Loved it can’t wait to try another one of the kits.
Janine H.
Great instructions
Abigail G.
It was easy to follow part from the plat.
Laura O.
Bought as a birthday present for my Mum. She is thrilled with it. We also got one as a free gift and plan to have a day together making the bid boxes up. A gift and an experience all wrapped up in one as well as the opportunity to spend some quality, creative time with my Mother. Perfect.
John K.
Ideal present for a crafty friend

The course is excellent and explains all steps really well. Teacher and video footage are very easy to follow.
The only problem is the fact that you cannot download the course but have to access it through a third party provider & this can only be done while online. This restricts where you can work, which for most people will probably be outdoors. I feel that this should have been made clear in the sales pitch.
Alison L.
Absolutely loved making this - it is a gift for a friend and I know she will love it too! It was very straight-forward to make, took about 3 hours and was very gratifying to watch it develop so quickly. Some other friends loved it so much they have bought it themselves and we are going to have a little workshop making lots of bird boxes together!! Can't wait.
Diane C.
Just completed these two bird houses. I loved making them, I did the first following the easy to understand video instructions without any problems and quickly followed making the second the next day. The willow was thin enough and nice and pliable for my arthritic fingers to bend to shape! I even think I have enough left over to create a 3rd. Looks like I'm going to have bird hotels all around the garden. Thank you
Christine H.
I have not made it yet as it's been do hot.
Carolyn C.
Instructions were easy to follow and the end result is now hanging in a tree in the garden, hoping some residents take up the offer of a home next year.
I found I needed to oak the willow a little longer than advised. And if I another one with the willow I have left I will try to make the entrance a little smaller.
Julie C.
My friend and I had a fun day together learning how to make the bird houses. A few swear words and lots of laughs later we are so thrilled with our beautiful bird houses. The course content is fantastic, the videos are clear and very relaxing to watch and the immediate response from Sam when we couldn't log in was just brilliant. I highly recommend this course and now am trying to decide which one to do next! Thank you for making this incredible skill available to us crafty beginners.
Nicky M.
Very clear instructions and enjoyed the process. Hopefully the next one I try will be better
Joyce K.
A great kit and brilliant video to guide you
Liz E.
Great fun was had by us all. Thank you.
Luci A.
Final result was a little bit wonky - but I learned loads ready for my next attempt!
I loved making this lovely addition to my garden.
Celia D.
Quality of the tuition was very good. The bird box was a reintroduction to courses in the past, and this made it much clearer and was realistic about first results. I'm pleased I've got another to try before I tackle the (hopefully) beautiful basket.
Fiona T.
I got this kit on the two for one offer and managed 3 of these bird boxes from the willow supplied. Great fun making them and they will make fun gifts. It remains to be seen if the sparrows show an interest next year!
Josie L.
I absolutely love making these!
Michaela H.
Daughter made this in 6 hours and it looks good
Bridget S.
Whoever thought this was easy is much more able than me! I’ve basically given up in frustration. May revisit it when I’m feeling a bit braver
Sally J.
I had great fun making this little birds nest. It took me just a few hours to make. I am a beginner at willow work and can highly recommend this project. It is so satisfying making something useful and which also "takes you out of yourself" for a few hours. Give it a go, you'll really enjoy making it.
Sarah L.
Wow that was hard, and mine looks nothing like the tutorial. But it was fun, the instructions were really clear and easy to follow (even if it was made to look really easy when it isnt!!) and I’ve made something that I’m proud of. I’ve got enough willow left over to have another go - maybe I’ll manage to get the next one a more uniform shape and a closer weave.
Sheila I.
The kit had all I needed and Molly was a calm tutor. A bit difficult for me to try to follow instructions on my phone screen - I think I will try on a larger screen if I make another bird box. Learning willow weaving techniques was very enjoyable.
Beverley R.
I really enjoyed this project.
The video and instructions were very clear.
As I'm 74 with arthritic fingers at times it was challenging.
It's by no means perfect but add artistic license and I'm very pleased.
Thank you.
Beverley
Catherine R.
Really enjoyed making this, the course was really clear. Would definitely recommend.
Lesley H.
Loved making these with my friend, a special day in the garden crafting making memories. Fab video tutorial.
Natalie w.
Had a great time making this, videos to teach were clear and informative.
Sarah D.
It was great. I got two so my friend and I could do one each. I couldn't have afforded it full price, so this was a great opportunity. The videos were very clear, easy to follow, and comprehensive.
Fiona W.
Really clear instructions, lovely kit to complete, plenty of willow provided. Made a lovely gift to make with my sister. The only drawback was accessing the videos, which would have been easier to download and play rather than the medium that was fiddly to set up on TV.
Rebekah N.
Clear instructions and very generous with the raw materials. Really enjoyed it!
Danny L.
I bought this for my wifes birthday and it was delivered well on time and we love them thank you
Roberta K.
Although I have done some willow workshops before they have always been with a tutor so wasn’t sure how this experience would be. However the kit arrived with concise instructions of what I needed to do beforehand, e.g. soak the willow, and I found the video instructions easy to follow. There is plenty of willow to do more than one bird house and the clippers you sent are perfect for the job. Would definitely buy another kit.
Sarah T.
It was a great experience which I shared with a friend thanks to the buy one get one free offer. The videos were very detailed and easy to follow, and the final result looked lovely. Just waiting for the birds to move in.
Gemma F.
Really enjoyable few hours creating this. Nice thing to do together.
clare v.
Great instructions and plenty of willow to complete the project and more.
Nicola H.
Brought this for me and my friends to do together the instructions was so easy to follow and really helpful. I have made another one since we made our first one. Fantastic idea
Julia C.
Love this and the instructions were really helpful. The send go at weaving was much better than the first one !!
Frances C.
The kit is of girst class quality. Loved the videos. Really easy to follow. Super company to deal with - had a few questions and they were answered really quickly.
Helen R.
Such clear and easy to follow instructions. Loved the whole process and there was enough to make a second bird nest! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a go at weaving.
Denise W.
Really enjoyed making both bird houses which are now in the garden awaiting occupants This is my second project as I have made a large basket before which has pride of place.
Kathy B.
A lovely experience to share with my wife. Therapeutic
Mrs
Excellent product turned out brilliant birds love them
Jim P.
The videos are really clear and wasy to follow. It was my first time weaving and i was really proud of the results. Will 100% buy more
