Customer photo review of The Willow Star Kit - Buy Two Get One FREE!

Penny W.Verified

I purchased the kits as birthday present for my 2 girlfriend's back in May. We have eventually found a day compatible for all three of us. I provided coffee and cake, lunch and afternoon cup of tea. Great fun was had by all. I would definitely recommend this. I would also do another project. Thank you for the help and advice.

I made two, I got the shape of the roof a bit wrong on the first one, so wanted to try again. I love this course, took me a whole day to complete each one. Love the finished result.

Helen C.Verified

What a great experience! I ordered the shopping basket kit and course (with a bonus free tension tray kit) and really enjoyed making it. I made the basket over the course of a weekend and the online step by step video lessons were easy to follow and full helpful tips. My basket is not perfect, but the first attempt at anything new rarely is. If you are looking to try something crafty I highly recommend trying a course from My Own 2 Hands.

Am loving learning the techniques to develop the skills to enable me to complete these wonderful projects. I find the videos guide and support me through the process step by step ensuring that the end goal is achievable for the absolute beginner like myself. So very rewarding!!

Complete novices and so happy with what we made. Clear instructions and such good value. Only thing was that it took much longer than the 40 mins they said. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon with friends.

Not without its challenges but the MyOwn2Hands team were very responsive and helpful. If all does not go smoothly the first (or second) time with the weaving stick with it. So proud of end results achieved from the courses. Very clear instructions.

I bought 2 kits a while ago and we have just completed one of them. My husband helped me as I have a problem with my wrist but after a while I managed to take over with the spiralling. We found the video instructions easy to follow. Ours is a bit more rounded than it should be and one spiral short but as you say we made it with our own 2 hands and really enjoyed doing it.

I found the course easy to follow and clearly presented. The materials were high quality and I am very pleased with the end results. I feel I've learnt a skill in a couple of hours and I'm keen to develop it. Thank you for a fantastic product and excellent teaching!

Mieke K.Verified

In my busy life I finally managed a 'ME' day to have a go at making the birdfeeder. The online instructions were brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the making kept me nice and warm too. I haven't hung it outside as some bird might poop on it and I'm not ready for that to happen yet and also my chickens would very much not be impressed if I start feeding tasties to birds where they themselves can't get to ;-)

First attempt not great but I really enjoyed making it and learnt a lot to improve on second one. It's good to learn a new skill even at the age of 72.

Customer photo review of The Shopping Basket Kit + Free Fruit Basket!

Julie K.Verified

Thoroughly enjoyed making this basket. The video was clear and easy to follow with lots of great info. My basket is not quite round and I made the sides a little higher as I want to use it to hold my knitting and yarn, and I absolutely love it! Really thrilled with my first attempt. And I've still got a shopping basket kit to start very shortly. As there's plenty of willow left from the fruit basket I may make a small basket as further practice before I start on the lovely shopper. Very many tha...

Ok, so I've always wanted to try weaving a basket. My dad bought me the kit for my birthday. I have to say I was thrilled with it. The learning materials were brilliant. And for my first basket I'm very pleased. Not quite what the kit was designed for, but it's a functioning basket. Looking forward to my next make.

Excellent tuition videos and products. Help if needed is always available. I have loved every minute spent weaving and would highly recommend your company to anyone wanting to try something different.

I've made four baskets now, starting with the large market basket. The fruit bowl came second and helped me with really tightening my weave. The shopping basket was third and I really enjoyed it too, again working to improve slath, waling and randing. I even walked up the hill and cut a nice hazel rod for the handle. The problem with all of this is that you have me hooked! A saturday spent creating a basket is incredibly therapeutic and rewarding and the video lessons are so well made, careful a...

Making these items has been a delight. The step by step instruction videos are perfect for understanding each stage of the process. Practise makes perfect, as they say. I’m loving this hands on experience, working with totally natural products. I want to make another heart as this one is a little messy, or is it perfectly imperfect?! This course was purchased from a Facebook ad which I’d normally skim past. So glad I made the leap of faith. Worth every penny! When I’ve practised enough I will ...

I really loved this course of three beginner projects. The instructor was wonderful - so clear and precise in her approach. A really great teacher. I am an old age pensioner, and despite my advanced years, I was still able to follow along easily and complete all three projects successfully. I particularly enjoyed making the Catalan Tension Tray! The course was great value, and the kit arrived the very next day!

Star,Heart and Platter kit. This was my second kit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The heart was the hardest to do and it's not perfect (but then whose heart is). I had enough willow to do the Heart, full size plater and Star, but also to do two smaller platters (one without handles ) and a smaller star, so now all my nearest and dearest have a star. The videos are easy to follow and everything is explained perfectly. Would recommend this kit to everyone.

Brilliant. Fantastic. Highly recommended The videos were really easy to understand. They broke each step down into small easy to perform steps. The instructors say when something might be tricky so you can watch several times. The kit itself was brilliant with everything you need (bar the tools). Although not perfect it was really straightforward to produce a basket that was good enough for us and to give away. The support from the company is excellent.

The kit had all I needed and Molly was a calm tutor. A bit difficult for me to try to follow instructions on my phone screen - I think I will try on a larger screen if I make another bird box. Learning willow weaving techniques was very enjoyable.

The course that comes with the kit was very informative and helpful, easy enough to follow. You are sent enough willow that i was able to make all that's seen in the photo. I was very happy with it all and I look forward to buying and making more. I certainly have another craft that I've fallen in love with.

I received the starter kit as a birthday gift and really enjoyed the process of making the star. I have never worked with willow before or done any kind of weaving but the video tutorial is very clear and easy to follow and I was pleasantly surprised with the end result. I will be trying the heart next!

Well I'm hooked! The willow star course was a fantastic introduction to willow work and a great evening to share with my daughters. It took a bit of trial and error but once we got the hang of it we were flying. Thank you and I certainly will be doing more 😊

Beth W.Verified

Lovely design. Not perfect, and still missing the strap as I’m not finished yet. But really enjoyable. Had a bit of an issue with the soaking bag as my cat thought it was a good idea to stick her claws in over the entire bag. Enjoyed this more than the basket. Preferred the raw willow

I absolutely loved this Obelisk Willow Course, I want to make more to give as presents now! Mollie is an excellent and very informative and descriptive tutor!

I really enjoyed this project. The video and instructions were very clear. As I'm 74 with arthritic fingers at times it was challenging. It's by no means perfect but add artistic license and I'm very pleased. Thank you. Beverley

I made this birdfeeder because we love our birds. We hung it outside our kitchen window and as you can see in the photo we get lots of birds in the feeder every day. They absolutely love it. The instructions and videos for this feeder were extremely well done. I would definitely make another one.. I highly recommend this kit.

The course was so well put together and easy to follow. The videos in sections made it easy to stop and start and replay bits. I enjoyed it so much that I have ordered 2 more kits to do! Everyone has been amazed at the result I achieved for the first time doing this. I would definitely recommend these kits to anyone wanting to have a go.

My friend and I had a fun day together learning how to make the bird houses. A few swear words and lots of laughs later we are so thrilled with our beautiful bird houses. The course content is fantastic, the videos are clear and very relaxing to watch and the immediate response from Sam when we couldn't log in was just brilliant. I highly recommend this course and now am trying to decide which one to do next! Thank you for making this incredible skill available to us crafty beginners.

Lovely kit that I received for Christmas. Have made the star and looking forward to making the other two items soon. Really excellent tuition via video which means you can pause and rewind as necessary. Really enjoying the process!

Jennifer G.Verified

Loved it. I made a few mistakes. I buried the legs too short in the soil and wove a little too loosely making it broader at the base. It still looks great but I look forward to having another attempt. I love the music and calm video presentations which are so clear and easy to follow. Stitching in the rods was the hardest skill I struggled with.

This was the first time I had tried anything like this and I absolutely loved it. Also got the starter kit so I could also make the star and heart. All brilliant. The tutorial videos are amazing. I would definitely recommend this and will be making another purchase very soon. Hopefully going for the basket next time. Thank you

I purchased two ‘Getting started with willow’ kits, one as a birthday present for my daughter who had expressed an interest in trying out basket making and one for myself with a view to us having a mother/daughter day. We finally found a suitable day and I watched the on-line course a couple of days in advance and prepared the willow accordingly. My daughter arrived and we settled down to make, starting with the star. Despite the instructions in the on-line course being clear and precise we did...

I bought this as a gift for my daughter in law and received the free kit for myself. An additional bonus. We had some really positive daughter in law / mother in law time and both really enjoyed the creative course. We chose to do it over two nights as the first evening was in the car port and too cold so the next night we did it on the kitchen table. Much better idea. It wasn’t too messy and the smell of the willow was lovely. The instructions were really easy to follow and the voice of the ...

I have (finally) thoroughly enjoyed making my very first basket - it’s not quite the shape that I’d planned - but it’ll make a great linen basket! I must also send a very big thank you to Molly - the very best tutor - so motivating and encouraging - I could listen to her all day. Thank you for a very enjoyable course and hopefully it won’t be the last basket that I’ll make!

Customer photo review of The Oval Tray Course and kit

Kyla P.Verified

The oval tray course and kit led me through my first time weaving willow. As per the very good instructions both written and on video: Soak your willow for the appropriate amount of time! Haha. I got excited a couple days early and had some struggles with pliability. But even with some of my broken pieces, the kit comes with enough material to make two full size oval trays. The videos are excellent. It’s the next best thing to in-person instruction.
