Excellent instruction video. Such an enjoyable project and complete bird house no two are the same as the picture shows my friends and mine both made at my house but look completely different and unique

I actually made the berry basket instead of the oval basket, as it was a smaller task for a beginner. I'm super pleased with the basket I produced, even if it doesn't look much like the berry basket! The course was really clear and the videos take you through it step by step, so you can't go wrong. Excellent course and materials, I would highly recommend it.

We finally managed to get round to making our bird houses and have really enjoyed the experience. The video was excellent. Perfectly paced and presented in a very calm and clear way. Thank you so much. A brilliant Christmas present

I’ve never weaved willow before so was a complete beginner. The video tutorials were fabulous and whilst mine isn’t quite as good as the professionals, I had lots of fun making it and it looks great in the garden

The course is excellent, it could not be clearer and easier to follow. No distracting and superfluous music or chat, just calm straightforward tuition. Thanks. My willow needed extra soaking, after which I managed the weaving a little better. Bird feeder not yet hung, and might end up a squirrel feeder, but it will look beautiful.

The tutorials are excellent , so clearly demonstrated. My only problem was lack of time so spent days soaking the half finished feeder in my water butt! The result isn’t perfect but I learned a lot about the various techniques and look forward to more willow work when I can set aside a few days to turn out a neater article with properly soaked willow!
Many thanks for a worthwhile project.

Really proud of my bird box.
I found the black maul much more pliable to work with than buff (and it smells lovely!) Hope I get a bird family in residence this year.

Loving my weaving course, so far! Still got lots to do. Like being able to work along with the video. Stop, then re-wind when I want to.
Very satisfied with my results so far!

This was my second kit and I really enjoyed making it. A bit more challenging than the bird house, but I learned many new techniques in the process. I made a second one out of fresh willow and have included a picture of it hanging outside with a Northern Flicker hanging off the bottom.

Really simple to follow instructions. Everything you need included in package. Sadly my basket doesn’t look like Sarah’s but that’s cos I didn’t follow her instructions ( thought I knew better🤭). Still really proud of it and already on to the next one.

Instructions are excellent as is the instructor, she has a lovely natural teaching style. Being broken down into sections it great, bite size chunks mean you can do it over a few days. Sorry no picture of my bird house, but used up the extra willow in fat ball feeders! Many thanks 🤩

Definitely a learning curve! The video tutorials are great and good to follow along after you have watched them through a couple of times.
Took it slow over a few weekends, it has come out a lot bigger than in the video, but I think I know where I went a bit wrong with the sides! However im really happy with how it came out and particularly enjoyed doing the top border. Its very likely going to end up as a laundry or blanket basket, if I can get it back from the cats....

I loved this project. My only advice would be soaking longer than 5 days. I’m in a warm spring and the branches passed the bend test but still some snapped. Soaking longer helps so much. Very fun project.

The instruction for making the garden trellis was very clear and easy to follow. I love how mine turned out and there will be cucumbers growing on it in the coming months.
I enjoyed opening the package of willow - it was prettily wrapped with a bow, very special.

This was my second kit from My Own 2 Hands, I made the bird house too and I now want to do a 2nd (better☺) basket. The instructors are great, clear and small chunks of teaching. It's important to have realistic expectations this is a challenge, but very enjoyable and satisfying. I think the outcome is evidence of the quality of the teaching and product. A beginner, without an instructor on hand can produce something .

Loved every minute of learning a new skill. I bought 2 X wicker bird house kits for my husband and I........ My husband failed miserably ( unable to follow simple instructions 😂!) so I made them both, with enough willow for a third....... That's my sister's birthday present sorted!🐦🐦⬛ Would love to make a 🧺

This is my second berry basket because I loved doing the first one so much! The video is excellent! I watched it all the way through before I started and rewatched and paused while making it. I am very happy and have a third kit that is here for me to make!

These decorations are a delight to make, the willow is lovely to work with, and Mollie’s demonstrating makes them easy to construct, it’s very handy to stop and start the video to catch up, there is plenty of willow left to make more decorations and hopefully perfect them, Rudolph (yes I put a red felted nose on him) is now residing in Taiwan, and by all accounts enjoying life there, I’ve got the Swallow kit too, not started with it yet but looking forward to making them.

Really clear instructions, lovely kit to complete, plenty of willow provided. Made a lovely gift to make with my sister. The only drawback was accessing the videos, which would have been easier to download and play rather than the medium that was fiddly to set up on TV.

Another fabulous kit, thank you!
I’ve learnt some new techniques with this kit. Good clear instructions on the tutorial. I completed the feeder in two sections, the base in one morning and the roof the following morning. I find the action of weaving very calming and so satisfying. I’m so pleased with the end result. And the birds love it!

I needed a plant support for my new climbing rose…so this was the perfect solution! I loved making it, very relaxing to be in the garden weaving in the sunshine. Within 3 hours I had completed the project.
Thanks for clear and easy video instructions.

The videos are excellent with really clear instructions, great tips along the way and loads of encouragement. You can pause them where needed to suit your pace. I also love the way that you might log into your course to find an update has appeared if some new feedback has been received by the course creators to help improve the experience - so even if you’ve already ...

Here is my very first attempt at weaving the Oval market Basket. At first I was quite nervous but excited to start. After watching the video through many times I jumped in and began to work away at one stage at a time replaying each video as I went. As I continued on the basket began to grow in size as did my confidence.
I learnt that I needed to weave a bit tighter to pull the shape in but all in all I am absolutely thrilled at my achievement 😀 it's my wonky basket!!

My first time willow weaving. Really pleased with my basket, which I found quite a challenge. The instructions videos were easy to follow, though my fingers and thumbs still got in the way. Really enjoyed doing this with my friend, as part of the buy one get one free offer. Hoping to do some other projects from this company in the future 😜

Had to improvise as I no longer have a lawn. Drilled correct diameter with correct amount of holes on wood. (Using a protractor!) And followed the fantastic instructions given. I’m pleased with the result but know that each successive one I do will be better. (I bought three. First two already gone to family and they are really, really pleased with them!)

Birdhouse kit: The presentation was excellent, and it included all the necessary materials. I found the instructional videos to be very detailed, and the step-by-step process was easy to follow.
I believe that anyone with some patience and moderate hand strength would find this project enjoyable and rewarding. I'm already looking forward to trying a basket kit once I skill up a bit. I hope my family and friends are prepared for woven gifts this holiday season!

I haven't found it easy to do all the tasks i needed to to make my basket. Tying the slath was quite tricky & my basket hasn't come out perfectly! But I enjoyed learning and i enjoyed the repetitive, almost like a meditation practice of weaving. It dis get easier and I'd like to make another one. The video tutorials and written instructions are really good.

Very much enjoyed making the plant support, and my friend and I both found the course instructions super clear and easy to follow. We were a little short of willow for the upper weave though; a few more withies to allow for spoiled /broken ones would have been brilliant. All in all, I can highly recommend this course! Thank you.

I'm a beekeeper, designer and a bit of an all round nature nut. However, I'd never tried my hand at willow weaving a step by step project like this before. This market basket is a big ole basket! My neighbour joked and said I'd gone and woven a Moses basket!
Anyhoo, I gave myself plenty of time to do it and so the finished basket in the photos was made over 3 x afternoon/evenings. I paused and replayed most of the videos several times over and because I wasn't rushing, it helped me take care. ...
