Coiling is usually done to make coasters, baskets and jewelry. A single needle is carefully and continuously coiled on a bunch of pine. The number of needles in the bunch could vary depending upon how thick one wants the coiled strand to be. Baskets and coasters grow like a spiral. For these to be strong and sturdy, each concentric strand is sewn (with pine or thread) to the previous one. Sometimes glass bangles are used as the base to coil over. Beads can be easily added when making jewelry pieces by slipping them in the needle and working a small stitch to secure them in place.
