How to make a basket out of dandelion stems (buymeacoffee.com)

Someone suggested I use up all the dandelions in my backyard by weaving them into baskets so I went and found a good tutorial!

I think you dry them before you use them, so they'll be just like any other basket! So probably not great to get it wet etc but it won't rot. But also I suspect if you used the stems still fresh, they probably would just dry in the shape of the basket? My partner makes baskets out of other materials like tree bark and that just dries out.
