Making a Basket from PINE NEEDLES | Start to Finish Project

PLEASE READ ME

I regret not mentioning about the history and origins of pine needle weaving in this video. This video was mostly intended to show how to make a pine needle basket is made but it should have nevertheless gave credit to where it was due. Pine needle basket weaving is an incredibly old tradition linked mainly to native American tribes, although pine needle baskets have also been known to be made in places such as Central American, India and some African areas.
Those resources are incredibly useful for those who are interested in knowing more about the history and origins of pine needle weaving:
