Basket Weaving
I enjoy most DIY projects but my favorites are those where I really get to work with my hands and create something out of raw materials. Example: basket weaving!

This would be a neat project to do with children as well! Design Sponge shares this most excellent DIY here.
Tassel Basket
While some DIY projects are fun to create from scratch, others are great because you improve an already made product. This tassel basket shows exactly what I mean.
