The Willow Star - Course and Kit

About this Willow Star Kit and course

If you want to put aside some time to make a beautiful willow star at home with friends and family, we've got you covered! Our customers absolutely love this star willow kit. It's easy to make, perfect to do in a group and the finished project looks wonderful in your home (Check out some recent customers' stars below).

During the course you will learn a variety of core willow weaving skills, like how to prepare the willow for weaving, how to select the right rods and how to make willow bend round corners without breaking. By the end you'll be dying to make your first basket.

What is included in the online course and DIY kit?

In the willow star kit you will receive:

A bundle of high-quality willow weaving rods (enough to weave your star with a bit extra left over).
A soaking bag - your willow will need to be soaked for a couple of hours before you weave it - full instructions are included.
Wire ties for holding your willow in place while you are weaving.
Fairy lights to decorate your star.

What is included in the online course?

This online course contains over an hour of expert instruction with leading basketmaker and teacher Mollie McMillen. You can access the course from any device by logging into our website (we will provide you with login details after purchase).

Our courses are produced by our BAFTA-winning team of filmmakers which means they are clearly presented and well thought out. Students get the right piece of information at the right time, which means they get great results. Plus we are always on hand to answer questions.

LIFETIME ACCESS:

When you buy one of our courses you get lifetime access, which means you can watch it whenever you want and as many times as you want in future.

This means you will always retain your new knowledge and skills.

What else do I need?

The only tool you need to do this course is a pair of garden secateurs. Any will do.

Can I do this course with a friend?

Our courses are great to do in a group! If you would like more than one kit, just select the number you would like at checkout.

After purchase, we will email you a unique access link for each member of your group. All you need to do is forward one of these on to each student. EASY PEASY!
