Collapsible woven basket and method of making same

A method of making a collapsible woven basket, comprising:

• providing a first frame member, a second frame member, a third frame member and a fourth frame member, each frame member having a left side, a right side, a bottom side and a top side;
• connecting the right side of each frame member to the left side of an adjacent frame member to form pivoting connections by winding a strip of material around the adjacent right side and left side of the adjacent frame members to completely cover the connection between the adjacent right side and left side;
• forming vertical bands by:
• wrapping the strip of material from the connection around the bottom side of the first frame member adjacent the left side of the first frame member to form a vertical strip of material,
• extending the vertical strip of material to the top side of the first frame member to create a first vertical band,
• wrapping the vertical strip of material around the bottom side of the first frame member,
• extending the vertical strip of material back to the bottom side of the first frame member to create a second band with a vertical space defined between the first and second bands, and
• repeating the above wrapping and extending steps until vertical bands are formed for all the frame members;
• forming horizontal bands by:
• starting from adjacent the bottom side of the first frame member, threading a horizontal strip of material inside and outside adjacent vertical bands in the first frame member, and then continuing to thread the horizontal strip of material inside and outside adjacent vertical bands in the second frame member, the third frame member and the fourth frame member, and
• repeating the step of threading a horizontal strip of material until horizontal bands are formed from the bottom side to the top side for each frame member;
• wherein each horizontal band covers each pivoting connection between adjacent frame members.
