Beaded Pine Needle Basket

Pine needle art is one of the oldest crafts known. It dates back some 9000 years, even before pottery which was made by lining twig baskets with clay.The Seminole Indians were one of the first tribes to make the pine needle baskets. They used a sharp piece of sea shell or bone as a needle.

Last year my husband and I moved to a 55+ community in Ocala, FL called "On Top of the World", which offers a wonderful award winning continuing education program "Master the Possibilities". This Winter I took a hands on class in Pine Needle Basket weaving. With my love of all things BEADS, I had to add beads to my project.

Starting of my basket.....

Examples of what you can do with practice(above). 

Here is a Youtube link that will give you an idea of the process of preparing the needles and weaving
