Handmade Willow Star

SKU: handmade-willow-star Categories: , Tag:

Delightful willow star made by Rosie Farey, a basketmaker based in North Wales. Created in two sizes, the large star makes a perfect natural Christmas tree topper.

Each decoration has been made from skeined white willow. The willow is soaked for 2 hours then wrapped and left to mellow overnight.

The rods are then cleaved into three pieces with a knife, and the centre shaved off – a process known as skeining.  Each rod is then cut into the relevant length, the star is woven using a small jig, tied and trimmed.

Available in two sizes: small approximately 8.5cm in diameter, large 19cm.

Price range: £11.00 through £30.00
