Our miniature beehive basket is handcrafted with pine needles and natural raffia. It's a small gem that contains all the elements of a bigger basket. A collection of three or four different-style miniature baskets makes for an attractive display.

Our pine needle baskets make beautiful wedding presents or gifts for the home. The talented artists who make them, go out together often to distant places, looking for the longest pine needles they can find and carry them back home. If the designs call for it, they dye some of the pine needles and/or the raffia they use to put the basket together. Many of our baskets combine both colored and natural pine needles and raffia. It takes several days to complete a basket. Mayan Hands weavers learned pine needle basketry a few years ago, from Michele Hament, a basket artist from San Francisco who came down to teach a workshop. Soon after they learned, the women started creating their own designs and shapes. By now they have become masters of the trade, offering a great variety of styles. Our baskets will bring the fragrance of pine trees into your home!
