Pine Needle Christmas Ornament Workshop coming soon!

 

Pine Needle Christmas Ornament Workshop 
In this class we will explore two styles of Christmas Ornaments made with pine needles.
 
The first ornament will have a lacey center woven with waxed linen on a wire ring. Coiled pine needles are added to this with a swirl stitch.
The second style we will be making is pine needles coiled on a beautiful dried quince.
Both of these ornaments can be embellished with mixed fibers, beads and other treasures. The techniques learned here can be used later in other pine needle baskets.
These make great gifts!
