Creating a sea grass storage basket involves weaving techniques. Here’s a simplified step-by-step guide to get you started:

• **Gather Materials:**
• Sea grass or straw for weaving.
• Scissors to trim the material.
• Needle and strong thread (optional).
• Base material (e.g., a round or oval base made of cardboard or wood).

• **Prepare the Base:**
• Create the base shape and size you want. You can cut cardboard or use a wooden base.
• **Start Weaving:**

• Begin by securing the sea grass to the base. You can do this by wrapping the sea grass around the base and tying a knot.
• **Basic Weave:**
• The basic weaving technique involves weaving the sea grass over and under the base material in a circular or spiral pattern. Start by placing a strand of sea grass across the base, then weave the next strand under, and the next over. Continue this pattern, tightly pushing the rows together as you go.

• **Adding New Strands:**
• As you run out of sea grass in one strand, add a new strand by overlapping it with the end of the old one and continuing the weaving pattern.

• **Building Height:**
• If you want to create a taller basket, gradually increase the height by angling the sea grass upward as you weave around the sides. This will create a gradual slope.

• **Finishing:**
• When you’ve reached the desired height, cut the sea grass and tuck the ends neatly into the weave to secure them.
• You can add a decorative border or handle if desired.

• **Finishing Touches:**
• Trim any excess sea grass, and make sure everything is secure.

Remember, making a sea grass basket can take practice to perfect. Experiment with different weaving patterns and designs to create unique and beautiful baskets. Additionally, you may find video tutorials online helpful for visual guidance.
