A short video for all of you curious on how a pine needle basket is made :)



My Etsy shop: https://etsy.me/2pSMu5q



 Of course I am still a beginner and the baskets are always a little imperfect but nevertheless the process is very enjoyable.

If you can get your hands on some needles than give it a go!

I HIGHLY suggest you to check the resources I listed down below, as there are lots of more in depth videos from people that have been making baskets for a long long long time.


For this basket it took me about 6h to make it. It might take longer if this is your first basket.

PINE NEEDLES: If you can't find long pine needles where you live, lots of ETSY sellers sell them: https://etsy.me/308Xmx2 or https://etsy.me/3fyAzRP for example.


they are also available here: http://primpines.com/supplies.html


 For this basket I used 100g of dried pine needles.
