Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

Pine Bauble

Gently smooth the pine needle between the pads of you fingers. This breaks down the structure of the needle making it curve rather than bend at a sharp angle

See the Tutorial below for more information about manipulating twigs to make the bend rather than break

Wrap the needle around a dowel to create a perfect circle. Secure with a tiny drop of floral glue

Remove the pine circles carefully from the dowel

Finish making all the circles you will need before assembling the baubles

Slip one circle into another

And a third circle over the first two

Build up the bauble shape by slipping in circles
