Flatten the box and place it on a cutting mat or other protected surface. With a single cut, trim off the upper 2&#8243; of the box sides and the top flaps, so that box measures 7&#8243; \u00d7 9&#8243; \u00d7 12&#8243; (18cm \u00d7 23cm \u00d7 30.5cm) (A). <br \/><br \/>2. Beginning at one end of the flattened box, mark a line every 1 inch (2.5cm) across the body of the box, from the top of the box to the flaps that make up the bottom of the box (B). <br \/><br \/>3. With a ruler and craft knife, cut through both layers of cardboard at each line, stopping at the beginning of the flaps (you may want to switch your blade a couple of times to keep it sharp) (C). Only cut where you\u2019ve drawn pencil lines. <br \/><br \/>4. Open the box (it will be in two pieces with two corners still intact). Cut the bottom of every other 1&#8243; (2.5cm) strip, removing the strip. Don\u2019t cut the corners yet so you can maintain the every-other pattern of the strips (D). <br \/><br \/>5. Tape together the bottom of the box (E), bringing the two pieces together. Turn the box on its side and slit the corners with your craft knife. Remove the 1&#8243; (2.5cm) strips according to the every-other pattern around the box (F).<br \/><br \/>6. To begin weaving, orient the box with the inside (the brown side) face down, the outside (in my case, the white side) face up, and with the cardboard strips (warp strips) splayed out at each edge. Cut 20 yd (18m) of yarn for the weft. Be\u00acginning at the lower left, wrap the yarn lengthwise around the bottom of the box 10 times. On the end with 4 warp strips, place 2 strands per warp space. On the end with 5 strips, place 1 strand to the left of the first strip, 2 strands in each opening, and 1 strand to the right of the first strip (G). <br \/><br \/>7. Bring the yarn end across the width of the box, weaving in plain weave over and under pairs of the yarn (H). This will split the pairs on the end of the box with 5 strips. Flip the box over to the inside and weave under and over the pairs (I). <br \/><br \/>8. Flip the box over again to the outside of the box, and weave over and under across the width of the box, matching the pattern of the strand from step 7 (J). Flip the box again, and do the same on the inside of the box, only this time, be\u00acfore you flip again, finish with the strand in the next warp space on the box (K). <br \/><br \/>9. Repeat steps 7 and 8, weaving across the width the entire length of the box (L). You will fill in any gaps in the weaving later.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2969081 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2969081\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f6bc806\" data-id=\"f6bc806\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c670222 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c670222\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"808\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16960 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2-768x776.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16960 lazyload\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/project2-768x776.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-add8b8c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"add8b8c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e97684\" data-id=\"5e97684\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-509b1cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"509b1cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>10. Next, bring the length of yarn remaining up to the warp strips and begin weaving over and under the warp strips around the box (M).<br \/><br \/>11. As you weave around the box (N), hold the warp strips so that they\u2019re vertical. The sides will tend to drift a bit as you weave, which creates a nice shape. Your initial length of yarn will run out about halfway up the strips. <br \/><br \/>12. When your initial length runs out, cut a length approximately 5 yd (4.6m) to fill in the sides and bottom before finish\u00acing the top part of the box. You\u2019ll notice a visible gap between the bottom of the box and where the weaving starts on the strips. You\u2019re going to add to the coverage along the bottom. Weave the 5 yd (4.6m) length over and under the strands from the bottom of the box, around the box once, as if it were the first row of the side weavings (O). <br \/><br \/>13. Next, flip the box bottom side up. Bring the 5 yd (4.6m) length down and weave over and under the pairs on the bottom of the box, going around the outside of the current bottom weaving twice to fill in the edge and create an outer ring according to the weaving pattern (P). If desired, bring the yarn length to the in\u00acside of the box through a warp space and fill in the edges of the weaving inside the bottom. To finish, trim the yarn end with a 4\u201d (10cm) tail and tuck it into the weaving. <br \/><br \/>14. Return to where you left weaving the sides of the box in step 11. Working with the remaining 25 yd (23m) of yarn, continue to weave around the box until you reach the very top of the warp strips (Q).<br \/><br \/>15. Using a sharp tapestry needle and color-coordinating embroidery thread, whipstitch (see below) the top of each warp strip, inserting your needle through the topmost strands on both sides of the warp strip, pulling it through the cardboard warp strip itself. This secures the topmost weft thread on the inside and the outside to the warp strip, ensuring that your weaving will not slip off. After 3 whipstitches, bring the needle and thread diagonally through the warp strip space to the left of your stitched warp strip to repeat the same process on the next warp (R). Repeat this for every warp strip.<br \/><br \/>16. Trim the end of the weft strand with a 4&#8243; (10cm) tail and bury it under strands on the inside of the box.<br \/><br \/>17. Using the remaining yarn, create decorative stitching around the top of the box by feeding the length through a warp space from the inside of the box to the outside a couple of weft strands down from the top (S).<br \/><br \/>18. Wrap the length over the top of the box to the inside of the box. Next, pull the yarn through the next warp space to the left a couple of weft strands down (T).<br \/><br \/>19. Repeat step 18 around the box until you get back to where you started (U). Trim the yarn with a 4&#8243; (10cm) tail and bury the end on the inside of the box.<br \/><br \/><b>Whipstitch<\/b><br \/>The whipstitch is a simple stitch and a good reinforcing stitch used to sew together two separate pieces of material. Thread a needle and tie a knot in the end of your thread. Hide your knot by bringing your needle through the top layer of fabric only. Bring your needle through both layers of fabric starting through the bottom layer so that the thread wraps around the edges of the fabric. Continue to bring the needle out of the top layer and poke it in through the bottom layer, making a series of stitches that wrap around the edges of the fabric.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-11ac9b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"11ac9b7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8c8bba0\" data-id=\"8c8bba0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b30970 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3b30970\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"954\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16961 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box.jpg 800w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box-768x916.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"954\" src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16961 lazyload\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box.jpg 800w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chunky-woven-storage-box-768x916.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f936041 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f936041\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29291c2\" data-id=\"29291c2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3663d7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3663d7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Weaving-Within-Reach-Beautiful-Projects-ebook\/dp\/B077CSXMP5https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Weaving-Within-Reach-Beautiful-Projects-ebook\/dp\/B077CSXMP5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weaving Within Reach<\/a>\u00a0is available in Anne&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/flax-and-twine.myshopify.com\/products\/weaving-within-reach-autographed-copy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shop<\/a> or find it at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Weaving-Within-Reach-Beautiful-Projects-ebook\/dp\/B077CSXMP5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/weaving-within-reach-anne-b-weil\/1127870196?ean=9780451499219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780451499219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indiebooks<\/a>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;re excited to share a project from Anne Weil (Flax and Twine)&#8217;s second book, Weaving Within Reach, Beautiful Woven Projects by Hand or by Loom.
