Colonial Basket Maker

Hi,whoever sees this.Today my job is basket making.I know it doesn’t sound interesting or important but it is.Because back in 1652 glass was very expensive,so basket making prevented you from spending a lot of  money and,it is strong so it can hold alot of stuff.it is also very important because were will you put all your food on Thanksgiving.Also on Christmas basket makers usually know how to make straw or twig homes so they can stay warm so that’s why basket making is important.
