For those of you who recently purchased a Bolga Basket here are the instructions for shaping them!
How to shape your baskets:
~ Fill up your bathtub with lukewarm water.
~ Place your basket into the water and soak it for 1-2 minutes, until the basket softens.
~ Remove the basket from the water and place it onto a towel or a surface that you do not mind getting a bit wet.
~ Begin to shape the basket, stretching the grass and rounding it out. You can shape it into a circle or oval, whichever will suit your needs best.
~ Place your shaped basket in a location where it can dry completely, 10-12 hours.
~ Use it!
Remember, you can reshape your basket as often as you would like. The grass will respond very well to the reshaping and last a long time.
