Weaving

The process of underwater basket weaving isn’t quite what you might think. You aren’t actually trying to complete the process while underwater but the wicker baskets you create are done by placing the pieces in the water. They need to soak up a large amount of water so they become flexible enough to work with during the weaving process.
