      What an interesting video. I bought a pine needle basket years ago at the coast (west) that I thought was absolutely gorgeous. The artist had started the basket on the outer edges of a sand dollar. It was so mind boggling to me how one could make such a beautiful piece of art out of pine needles. I have that little basket, to which I have since hot glued a seahorse to the top edge, hanging on my bathroom wall. And I just love it Now I know how they are made. We have pine needles by the multi-billions in our yard which we just burn in the fire pit all the time, I’d like to give this a try. Thank you for such an informative video.

    I lived in Flagstaff for a number of years and worked at Gore. I now live in Tennessee. I also have made pine needle baskets. Have you ever used Rit dye to color the needles? You can make some gorgeous color patterns in your baskets that way. I have also used flat agate rocks with holes drilled around the edge as the center of the bottom of the basket instead of that center coil. This was a very good video with lots of good beginner tips. If you go to La Fonda’s for dinner, think of me. That’s one thing I truly miss about Flag. ❤

      Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting. After living in Flagstaff for 23 years, we moved to Florida a few months ago. (I do miss Flagstaff.) I hope you're enjoying TN. I have seen baskets made with dyed needles and rocks, although I have never done them. So far I have stayed with the more natural look and just changed up the color of the thread. What I have found here in FL, though, is REALLY LONG pine needles. I thought Ponderosa's had long needles, but the South Florida Pine has 15" long needles. Crazy and so much easier to stitch! Thanks again for watching and telling me about your time in Flagstaff. (I have several friends who work at Gore, by the way.) :) --Jennifer

    I watched my best friend in high school make these over 50 years ago! I still have a beautiful basket she gave me in our senior year of high school. The basket looks the same as the day she gave it to me!
    I am now beginning to make pine needle baskets with my daughter in the hope of helping supplement our household incomes. She has a ton of pine trees on her property, so very small cost to make pine needle crafts. Her husband even thinks these baskets are cool!
    Great reminder tutorial, even though 50 years ago the way of doing things was very simple. No gauge back then, trying to remember what she used, maybe it was a straw as you showed, perhaps just perfect teenage vision!
    Hopefully my memory will kick in so that I remember all of her "tricks" and methods.
    Nice video, thank you, it triggered some wonderful memories of teenage girl talk while she worked! No social media or cell phones back then, we actually communicated. What great times!
    Thanks again, glad i found your channel.

    I haven't made a pine needle basket in over 50 years! My mom had gotten into it back in the 1970's I thought it was cool thinking it would make a good evening activity in camp. but I had a case or wonder lust so after giving it a try I went on to learning wilderness survival.
    50 years later I am back for a refresher course to make a birthday present for my lady love because she appreciates things like this.

    • @MyflagstaffhomeAZ
      @MyflagstaffhomeAZ  Рік тому +3

      I'm glad the video was helpful, Maryanna! A few pieces of advice. (1) After you make the coil that is fully wrapped with thread, be sure to put in LOTS of stitches the first time around... at least 24, maybe more. That will make the basket tigher. (2) Keep the coil pretty stuffed with needles so the gauge is tight. It will be a little harder to push the needle through, but it will make the coil tight and that will make for a neater basket overall. If you use a silicone thimble on your thumb, it will make it easier to pull the thread through. Good luck! --Jennifer

    Tell you what. A few weeks ago I made a spoon. Carved wooden spoon. Big enough to eat with and for my long travel mug. Love it. Apart from my cat I think its one of the most beautiful things I own. This is where the problem started. I am slowly developing serious disfavour towards A. Mass Produced Shit. B. Stuff made from plastic. Videos about making stuff from wood, leather, birch bark - oh, and pine needless, are fast becoming my preferred viewing. I saw another channel about pine needle pots. And I thought 'I could put tea bags in that...'

      Short needles would be hard to work with. I suppose it could work, but I think the basket would look shaggy, because the needles would end after just a few inches. I hope you can find some long ones to use. That would be much easier and have a nicer end result. Glad the video was helpful! --Jennifer

    Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial !You are an excellent teacher ! It was great to watch the process and I look forward to trying it . I have some native reeds in my garden here in southern coastal Australia , they are not pine needles , but similar thickness and texture , they are very long . I still feel like watching this is giving me a technique to get creative with them . I also have shorter pine needles from a native sheoak tree . However they are highly segmented and may just snap too easily . It’s all going to be experimental . If I come across the type of pine needles used here , that will be cool to try too ! 😃👏

      I'm sure the longer ones you spoke of would work. What I demonstrate is a basic coil basket. Cultures all over the world use the same technique with whatever material is in great supply. Some use grasses, strands of bamboo, straw, etc. If they tend to be brittle at all, just be sure to soak them first. I'd love to see what you come up with! --Jennifer

I included seed pods that grow on the end of the reeds , and a handle to rectify adding reeds and making the end too thick as I thought I’d make it larger … but it all worked out in the end 😀.

    • @MyflagstaffhomeAZ

      I imagine that using shorter pine needles would make it more difficult, but perhaps I can give you some help. When you add needles to the "bundle," insert them into as close to the center as possible, but always in the same spot. So, for example, I add them on the side of the bundle facing me. That way, the shaggy ends of the needles end up on the back of the basket. Trim them off as close to a stitch as possible and it will look neater. It takes many attempts to get some good-looking baskets, so keep trying. And... the next time you're traveling in an area where there are longer needles, bag up a bunch of them to take home. You'll find the process a lot easier. Good luck! --Jennifer

      @@MyflagstaffhomeAZ I will try that ! It's what I picked up in the video, plus the tip (no pun intended) of placing the blunt ends in 1st. I think I didn't keep my stitches close enough either ... Yhe irony is that we live close to a man-made pine forest which only have shorter needle pines... Looks like its an excuse to go travelling, even tho 90% of trees are Eucalyptus :)

    • @MyflagstaffhomeAZ

      I'm glad you liked the video, but let me caution you. This is not a "craft" for children. I can't tell you how often I poke my fingers with the needle and it takes a lot of muscle to get the needle through the bundle of pine needles. I was a classroom teacher for 12 years and would never attempt this with kids unless they were at least 12. I'm not trying to be discouraging, but I can just imagine your daughter taking all the time to gather and prep the needles and supplies and then finding out quickly that her children hate this. I would strongly recommend trying a basket yourself first before attempting one with children.

    Thank you for that video and for telling us exactly where each part of the process is by the minutes and seconds on the video. That is very helpful. My question is: Have you ever left the fascicle on when making a basket? I wonder if it would stay on and if it would add interest by making it bumpy or darker in places. Thanks again.

    • @MyflagstaffhomeAZ

      Yes, I did leave the fascicle on when I first started making baskets. Here's a video I did a LONG time ago that shows how. Go to about the 20-minute mark in the video:

The point I'm trying to make is that your first basket will not be great, but it's still a basket made by hand out of pine needles and that's just cool. Stick with it and you'll be good at it, too. --Jennifer
