Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these molds for multiple baskets? These are single-use molds — the glass vase, acrylic holder, or plastic liner are intended to become the permanent interior of the finished basket after weaving.

Is the handle included with the Wine on Ice set? No, the handle is sold separately, allowing you to choose your preferred style.

What adhesive works best for attaching the base? Cyanoacrylate (crazy glue) provides a strong, clear bond on glass. Double-sided sticky tape is a clean alternative that also holds securely.

Perfect for: Nantucket basket weavers, lightship basket crafters, DIY gift makers, home decor artisans, and anyone looking to create heirloom-quality woven baskets with professional results.
