Anna made the patterns for this new flat box with an onion dome top. For my box I used paper of quality 80 g/sqm. This is not quite heavy enough for the large container. 100 g/sqm or possibly 120 g/sqm would be better. However, the small squares in the top of the onion dome can…
The weaving for the box with small circles is ordinary biaxial and not difficult. The pattern for the sides is the same as introduced in Woven Heart #008. The small circles are just added as an extra layer when weaving. The pattern for the lid is somewhat different as one set of strips…
The box is woven from three layers of paper. The angle between the two basic strips is 120 deg. and then the third strip is perpendicular. Weaving in this way is much less difficult than explaining how to. The basic principle is that the order of the strips must always be the same. A (red)…
The top of this Onion Dome Box #002 is made in the same way as you would make a cone. Cut 4 times 6 strips in the colours you like. Because of the shape of the individual strips you have to cut them out individually. Score the strips making rectangles in the wide end. Glue…
This Egg #004 Box is much simpler to weave than the full eggs because you only need to weave two tops and don’t have to make the ends meet at the bottom. Cut out 2 x10 double egg strips and 2 or 3 times the sheet with the straight strips considering the colours you would…
If you can manage the Onion Dome Box, you can also make this Jar Box. The process is more or less the same. I include the patterns. The pages are filled up with parts so that you may mix and match colours as you please when you work. For the lower part you need: 24…
Anna designed the strips for the onion dome in Rhino. Weaving the dome nicely is not easy, but what is most required is patience. Start by cutting the forms on “Part 1/2” four times in four different colours and the forms on “Part 2/2” twice in two other colours. Now you have plenty of options…
Cut out two of each piece in different colours. You also need at strip of paper 4 cm wide and as long as an A4. The top is made just like a cone, see Cone #001. When you have done all the weaving you must pull the strips gently so that the small half circles…
Print and cut out the six pieces. Use a blunt needle or knitting-needle and a ruler to score the edges before folding. First glue together the individual pieces using the white flaps. Then glue the pieces together using the coloured flaps. When gluing together two pieces start with every second flap of the eight flaps…
This box takes time to cut out, fold and glue together. But I do not think it difficult to make. Print and cut out the six pieces. Use a blunt needle or knitting-needle and a ruler to mark the edges before folding. First glue together the individual pieces using the white flaps. Then glue the…
