how to make a wooden slat orchid basket

To make your slat baskets you need to have cut some sticks about3/4 (18mm) inch square. This is not the only size you can use. You might use any thing you can bore a 1/8 in (3mm)hole through. You might even use round peach boughs or similar. 18 of 3/4 in sticks is a good number to start with. cut these about 10 in (25cm) long. bore a 1/8in (3cm) hole about an inch from each end.

4 x 3mm. wires about 15 cm.

You need 4 holding wires.turn a little hook on one end.

Text module

Close and turn that hook sideways. This stops it from going through the first stick.

Text module

Thread the first 4 sticks as you see in the photo.

Text module

Now nail in the floor of the basket. Depending on whether the basket will be used to grow certain plants (like vandas)that need to grow through, or the basket is used to line and hold pot mix or again it might be used solely to hold one or more pots. You can leave spaces or not. I know a place where these, in large form, are used to hold potatoes and onions.

Text module

Put enough nails in the floor so you do not get this effect.If you only put one nail in each board your basket can assume an odd shape.

Text module

Nearly done. Snip off the wire ends, leaving about 1 1/2in (4cm).

Text module

Turn the wire ends over as hooks to hold the chain or wire or cord hanger.

Text module

A good size for small orchids is about 7in (18cm)square . This one 18in.long sells well at markets
