Measure out two sections of Midelino cane coils and glue it in the middle point. I am using wood glue. Keep the sections in place with small butterfly hair clips so that you can continue to weave while the glue dries.

Weave in another cane section following an over and under pattern

Clip the connection point while it dries

Continue to weave the cane strips in a ball shape but do not complete the globe. The sphere shape should be open at one end to form a cup

The cane strips are flexible and can bend into position

The cane strips are flexible and can easily bend into position

Cut the ends at a sharp angle
