Learning new crafts | Pine needle basket weaving

This week I wanted to make something different and learn a new craft. Since summer I wanted to try pine needle basket weaving and I finally made a basket of my own. It's the first one I made so I wouldn't call this video a tutorial but a slight introduction to the topic and a documantation of my little adventure with basket weaving.

If you want to try this craft out for yourself then those are the videos that I was inspired by:
