About Creating With Pine NeedlesThe beautiful thing about pine needle crafting is its creative potential. The articles one can make using pine needles, raffia and wire are many and useful.The materials necessary are easy to come by, and this is one of the least expensive crafts to be found. Long leaf pine is to be found, free for collecting, all over the Southeastern United States. Raffia and wire forms can be found in many craft shops. In my many years of teaching this craft for the adult education classes of Daytona Beach Community College, Mary Behrman has found that many of her students have turned this hobby into a source of extra income. 
This book contains instructions and drawings for
baskets, jewelry, trivets, napkin holders, purses, and more. The tenerife patterns and instructions on the stringing of a
star alone are worth the price of this book.
These instructions are
for the experienced worker.
For the beginner, Book #1 pine needle Craft by Veronica Walsh, published by Do-Do sales of Seffner, Florida, is recommended. It is Mary Behrman's hope that this book will give you many happy hours of creative
activity and personal satisfaction!
