It’s been several months since I started with this Plastic wire Nellikkai knot Baskets (initiated by Smita) and yet I couldn’t complete a single basket… I have asked many people who used to make these type of plastic wire baskets, but nothing turned out successfully.
Where am I?
Since it will be my learning, I started with a much smaller basket with a base containing only 5 lines of Nellikkai knots. So far, I can frame the base without any problem. But I am facing problem while making corners for this basket. This doesn’t mean that I will stop here; I will continue to try this and will post the complete basket when I am done.
Below gallery will show you where I am so far… If someone has an idea about how to proceed from here, please do share it here…
Once when I sort out this, I will definitely include a step-step video tutorial…

I know the procedure you should take four. Times length of the height. Do the base with three wires and individual flowers. Then attach bundle wire and continue.
Base can be done with individual flowers. Required length and breath.
Each flower should have for times length of the required height
Each flower should have for times length of the required height. Corners will be done continuously without any problem with bundle wire
Start anywhere in the middle with bundle wire and continue
As many flowers you want you can make I saw your base with five flower row after that you join the bundle wire anywhere in the middle and continue
