How lovely!!

It would seem to me that fashioning a large needle from many easily 
found objects would be possible...  From a plain dowel in the width and 
length desired, put into a pencil sharpener to get the points, and then 
use fine sandpaper to smooth the edges and the points.  A finish of 
varnish at the end may make everything smoother.  From a single wood 
knitting needle of the size desired, cut off the end and sharpen to a 
point, and then smooth with sandpaper and apply a finish.
