    Instructions
    things you'll need:

    * Pine needles Thread Needles Raffia



    1.
    * 1

    Soak your pine needles in boiling water for 30 minutes. Pat them dry with a towel or newspaper.
    * 2

    Use your fingers to scrape the sheaths off the pine needles.
    * 3

    Separate the pine needles into bundles. Each bundle should have about a dozen pine needles.
    * 4

    Fold one bundle over about two finger widths from the end.
    * 5

    Thread your needle with raffia. Sew the folded end of the bundle together to make a wedge. The rest of the basket will coil outward from this wedge.
    * 6

    Coil the pine needle bundle around the wedge once more. Now you have two coils. Sew them together.
    * 7

    Continue coiling the bundle around and sewing each coil until the bottom of the basket is about 5 inches wide.
    * 8

    Coil the bundle on top of the last coil rather than around it. This starts the side of the basket. Sew the coils together as usual.
    * 9

    Continue coiling and sewing the bundles until the basket is about 3 inches tall. Then sew the edges together tightly.
