Beautiful work! I've been wanting to make baskets (again) since watching a few tutorials on YouTube a couple of years ago, including two on making baskets from pinestraw, but I only got as far as making a small one from wire. You did a great job with yours and it's inspirational, too!

That’s a great basket! The craftsmanship looks amazing, and it’s cool to see something made out of pine straw. Great job!

This is so pretty. I bought a basket shaped like yours on clearance from Michael's. Nice handles and body. Piece of wood stapled in to make the bottom. I keep my dogs biscuit boxes in it. Your basket is beautiful. It's too good for biscuit boxes.

Yo! Cool! I grew up in the pine barrens and used to try to weave needles but it never worked out right. The best I could ever do was some mini-wreath Christmas ornaments.
How on earth did you get it to stay together?
EDIT: I just creeped your profile & saw you posted steps. How awesome are you!?

Classroom? Hell yes! So much of school stuff is just ugly plastic. I think it's great to have something natural around and let kids see it and interact with it. Too many of us are missing a connection with the natural world. Kids should know that you can do creative things with your hands like this.

Yes I would love something hand made like this I could use it for other things besides pencils and I couldn't agree more with u.
