Learn how to create your own himmeli, the traditional Finnish holiday decoration made of natural straw threaded into beautiful geometric mobiles!

Himmeli are traditionally made in the winter with straw from the harvest, and hung above the table to ensure a bountiful year. But himmeli have gained worldwide fascination, with fans making them all year round, for all kinds of occasions. They make striking décor in the home throughout the year. Himmeli crafts have become very popular worldwide, and contemporary versions can include all kinds of materials like copper, wood, plastic, and paper in place of real straw. 

In this workshop you’ll learn how to make your own himmeli to hang in your home, with a range of materials to choose from.

All supplies and equipment will be provided. Instructor will guide you through each step to create at least one medium-sized eight-sided himmeli.
