Twigs and pine needle bowl.


Hi Rosie, collect pine needles twigs and interesting bits and pieces on walks etc. Let them dry out. When using soak in water to make them pliable. It's a bit like coiling aclay our plasticine bowl. You need needle and thread to stitch your coils together. Keep your work flat for a lid. When making the bowl lift your coils up slightly from the previous coil to give a nice bowl shape. Not sure if I've explained well enough but you can look online for more instructions.
Found this you tube, Its very good.  Google makIng a pIne needle basket by TIm Heary. He's good.


Cheers Val

What a great idea. You could send the Grandies little gifts made of your collections of the area you are staying in at the time. Good job!!

WOW that's clever and looks great.

Unlike most other crafts your materials don't cost you anything. Guess you need lots of patience though.
