Weave a seedling protection basket - PEP BB textiles.straw.weaving.seedling

This badge bit (BB) is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Textiles.

For this BB, you will weave a seedling protection basket, also called a woven cloche. It is made from natural (plant) materials and offers significant air ventilation, as well as protection from munching critters.

Minimum requirements:
 - Weave a seedling protection basket with all-natural materials
 - The woven structure needs to be fine enough that a golf ball won’t fall through but offers significant sunlight and air ventilation
        (goal is to keep chipmunks and squirrels away from seedling plants)
 - The open end of the basket must be at least 9 inches across

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or a video (<2 minutes):
 - Description of the materials and technique
 - Picture of the materials
 - Picture of the basket in progress
 - Your completed seedling protection basket (with a tape measure or seedling inside)
