Today's project: Himmeli Shapes
Materials:
straws (tiny coffee stirring straws work great, bigger straws also work fine. Paper, plastic, whatever)
wire (I used a fairly thin, flexible gauge that could be easily cut with scissors)
scissors
rulers (optional)
Himmeli are traditionally Finnish Christmas decorations, but their beautiful geometric shapes can grace a home at any time of year in any country of the world. They take a little time to make and can be a little tricky to get the hang of, but if you're not a strict traditionalist, the sculpture possibilities are endless!
Basic instructions:
1. Cut the straws to the length you desire.
3. Get creative!
(The one below is a house! See it?)
Happy Himmeli crafting!
