Drive in small staples over the inner wire or piece of wicker into the wood, and these will form hinges. A better basket than this cannot be had, such open flaps having not only the advantage of allowing freer ventilation than more elaborate baskets afford, but making it impossible for any bird to be over- looked, as very often occurs when close lids are employed. The same plan may be applied to a basket of any size. Bare wicker.
