Single strand pine needle chain-link garland

I used to make these garlands every day after school while waiting for our school bus. It really is quite easy and fast to do.

Soak the pine needles in warm water

Separate the pine needle cluster

Pull the needle out of the bud scales.

Gently bend the pine needle

and slip the needle into the gap in the bud scale where the other needle was

Loop the next needle around the previous pine needle and secure

Continue adding needles to create a long garland
