Making woven baskets out of strips of bags

[Amaranth]

Looking for good instructions on how to make woveen baskets out of potato chip (etc) bags. Have friends saving bags for me. I am looking for a more traditional weave. So far all I have been able to find is one where you cut the bags up like gum wrappers and make a saw tooth like strip which you then sew into a basket. What I'm looking for is the sort that uses the longest possible strips cut from the bags.

Any ideas for books or websites?

This is one I have saved:

It's actually for using magazines, but I wonder if potato chip bags might work since they are a similar length. Not sure how sturdy they would be, though.

Here is a similar one for bowls:
