Wrapping and Coiling 3D textiles

Coiling is a basketry process and has been used by most cultures for centuries.
Coiling strengthens the fabric so it can be twisted and manipulated to produce 3D forms.

How to begin:

- Cut a length of fabric roughly 30cm long.

- Choose a thread that is not too fine.

- Lay the fabric down, then place the thread about 30mm on top of the fabric.

- While holding the fabric and thread fold it over and then start to wrap.

- Once you have wrapped as much of the fabric as you want

- To finish off tie the end of the wrapping thread to secure.
