I just want to say how do people make this kind of stuff?
If someone is great then would they please give me instructions to make them because when my mum tried to teach me, it didn’t turn out well.

Hello Tanisha
Glad you like the flowers. You can learn how to make the flax flowers pictured on this post, and other styles of flowers, from my book Weaving Flowers from New Zealand Flax. Some of the flowers are quite easy and only take a few minutes to make. The book is available to buy directly from me and the information on how to buy it is on the Shop page on this website. I also have instructions online on how to make one of the types of flowers in the book. The book is written in this style, with step-by-step photographic and written instructions for each of the sixteen flower and foliage designs.

Hi Ali,
I watched your presentation at the Creative Fibre Fest in Marlborough and stupidly didn’t buy a copy of your book on basket making. I have your original flax flower book and would like to add the basket making book too my collection. I read in the previous post that you mention “weaving a larger container from NZ flax” I assume this is the title. Can you tell me if you have some available and what the cost including postage to Dunedin would be.
cheers
Sue

Hello Ali,
I am wondering if you might be having a workshop on weaving flowers in Christchurch in the next couple of months.
Thanks, Marianne
