Language ‏ : ‎ Japanese
Book: ‎ 96 pages

This book uses readily available PP tape (plastic basket tape) to make bags in the style of mercado bags, which have been popular in recent years. The bags come in two shapes, a nearly perfect square and a horizontally long type, and are available in both large and small sizes. All of them are easy to use, beautiful to look at, and well-balanced in size. There are 55 bags to make! All patterns are included, so you're sure to find a bag you'd like to make. You'll end up with a stress-free, surprisingly light bag. The technique only requires threading the tape through, so even beginners to basket making can enjoy it with confidence. How to make the bottom, how to weave the sides and handles, and more are all introduced in detailed process photos. Instructions on how to make a cutter to cut the tape in half are also included.
