How do you attach cane webbing to wood?

Basically, the steps are as follows:
1. Cut the rattan curtain to the right size for the project
2. Soak in warm water for 30 minutes or more
3. Fix the rattan curtain to the wood
4. Cut off the excess
5. Cover the excess wood
6. Let the rattan dry

Step 1: Cut the rattan to the right size for the project

– When ordering, you have estimated the size of the rattan to use, so it is easy to cut them into different sizes.
– When cutting to different sizes, you can use heavy objects placed around the rattan to help balance the edges when cutting.
– You should cut with a larger size than expected for

Step 2: Soak in warm water for about 30 minutes or more

You should soak the rattan cane webbing for at least 30 minutes to make it soft and easier to use.
When soaked, the rattan can expand, when dry, it becomes tighter when wet.
After soaking, I will use a towel to dry.

Step 3: Fix the rattan to the wood

You can use a wooden stapler to fix the rattan to the wood.
You can start from 1 side, then fix in the middle and the other side.
Then you pin the remaining sides of the project in turn.

Step 4: Trim off the excess

To make the product beautiful and complete, you should cut off the excess with a utility knife.
You should use a sharp knife to cut faster and more beautiful.

Step 5: Cover the edges with wood

Once the cut is complete, place the original board back into the gap. And I screwed the piece of wood that held the glass in place.
