A variety of rim treatments are possible for this type of basket. I chose a braided rim, but many other treatments would work as well.

Soak the spoke ends until flexible.

Pinch each spoke with your needle nosed pliers close to the weaving when the spoke is turned down.

Use a hairpin shaped marker to maintain the space necessary for inserting the finishing steps of the rim.

Clip off each spoke end after completing the rim braid.

Take time to trim off or singe any stray fibers from the reed.

Attach the rings to the base of the cornucopia by stitching them to the weaving with a short piece of flexible reed.

The feet allow the cornucopia to stand on a table surface without rolling.
