You can use two weaving options. For the first one, you need to put an even number of stripes horizontally. Starting at the left edge, interweave them through one. The second strip is also attached vertically, but staggered in relation to the first. The third tape repeats the amplitude of the first.

For the second method, you need to bend the edges of the previous tape to the next.

To secure the edge of the straight weave, add stainless steel wire when creating this piece of birch bark bread bin. See how you need to attach additional tape during the weaving process.
