To make these handmade with pine center baskets there are many steps into the process. We use long leaf pine needles from Florida, and the basket is threaded with Butterscotch Wax Linen Thread. To create the pine center we cut a section of a branch from a pine tree. Once we are satisfied with the completed basket it is coated with shellac. Everyone of our baskets are unique and one of a kind. There are designed and crafted by us. The size of the basket is, 6 1/2 inch diameter and 3 inches tall. ******Disclaimer, props are not for sale****** This basket can have many uses, but the items must be dry and be used for decoration. Made in a smoke free home. Our item is ready to ship. If you have any questions please let us know and we will be happy to help you. Thank You!
