This round reed basket features three glass Ohio Buckeye beads hand-crafted by our very own Cheri Mullins. Three beads are included in your kit!

Three rod wale and shaping will be taught as part of this basket. An added bonus: You will have the opportunity to dip your basket into walnut stain prepared by Cheri and Linda. If you don’t finish in July, bring the basket back in August and they’ll have the stain then, too!

| "You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." ~Erma Bombeck |
