This video appeared in my life at the perfect time. We had a big storm in Iowa one month ago--a derecho with winds of 140 mph. We lost 4 majestic white pines from our yard (along with other trees), whose loss we are grieving. This video inspired me to make a little basket from the trees' needles, a very healing experience. White pine needles are more delicate and shorter, but they still worked! I love my sweet little basket--it will remind me of those trees that were destroyed in the storm.

[@skylark5789]

Yes, I understand. I am really sad about the pine trees we lost in the neighbor's yard that were near our property and shielded us everyday from the sun. They were extremely tall and majestic, grandfathers of the land, really. Storm Isaias weakened them, and they had to be cut down so they wouldn't fall down and hurt someone. The sound of the chainsaws was terrible. I miss them every day when I look out at the sky where they were, and it's blank. Let's all plant some new ones! For our children's children and beyond.

I would never ever imagine that you can weave a basket from pine needles! It looks amazing!

[@AnimeShinigami13]

then I'm really going to blow your mind. pretty sure you can use pine glue to waterproof this. pine glue is made by melting pine resin that seeped out of and down the tree in a pot. Just look for any conifer tree that has resin dripping down the side. don't chip it off too deeply or you'll hurt the tree. the resin is the tree's version of a scab on a cut. so go too deep and its like picking a scab, it gets infected, red, nasty, only in this case since it has bark, not skin it could allow the tree to be infected with a disease.

I have no idea why this was recommended to me.. I didn't look for it.. Now I'm just waiting impatiently for the rain to stop so i can run off outside to a pine forest to collect some needles! Your little baskets are just so lovely. I totally will try this! Thank you so much for your inspiration.

I was so excited to see this! I always wondered how this was done! My poor great-grandma was in a very very abusive marriage. Her husband would pad lock her in the cabin from the outside. So she made lots of pine needle baskets; to keep her occupied. She’s been long gone and our family never really knew how she actually made them. Thank you!

[@lauriemashek5419]

IndianaHannah it sounds as if she was as resilient as the pine needles. Honor this quality and make her proud.

[@SolitaryShorty]

Things like these, because of their simple complexity, always make me marvel for what humans actually achieved. Like you can really understand how creative people had to be to invent beautiful yet practical stuff. I don't get that with modern achievements, I guess because we are so used and at the same time detached from technology and all it brings that its harder to appreciate them for what they are. But things like these just leave me happy and in awe of the abilities, humans have.

Beautiful work. Add a bit of soap in the water when soaking needles. Removes sap. I put rubber over my plier tips when pulling needles so they don't get scratched up and will keep sewing smoothly.

We’d drive out to the bush to gather pine needles, leave an offering to the earth for providing us the pine needles, and finish up with a picnic lunch!

When I was about 25, I made a pine needle basket from a kit and gave it to my father for Christmas. He did not believe that I made it! I was shocked! I kept telling him that I did make it, but he just examined it so closely, shook his head, and repeated that he just couldn’t believe I had made it! I was so proud of myself! I used raffia and crocheted a disc about 1.5” in diameter for the base. Then I stitched the needles with the raffia, coiling it to shape, like Marina did. I don’t remember using a gauge, and I think it was just a few needles thick.

[@Momo-bb2fn]

That’s some primal skill type stuff that we’ve lost over the generations

[@RuinedTemple]

Not lost, it's here waiting for us to learn it. In order to keep it from becoming lost, everyone with the inkling ought to learn the skill, use the skill, document their experience, record how it's done, share the skill & the fruits of their labor, preserve their records as well as finished pieces & pass them on to someone who will protect & preserve them & pass them on to another who'll do the same. That way we're doing our best to keep the knowledge alive & maybe even creating a future antique, heirloom, or (hopefully) artifact for ppl to appreciate, study, & observe for generations to come. Imo, I think it's even better if a narrative is also passed along of why the skill & its product is needed, important, &/or how it can be better than mass-produced or synthetic alternatives or just good in general :)
