Make Your Own Himmeli
As seen in the Pippi Longstocking Room at ScanFair!
Back in the day, himmelis hung above dining tables to ensure a good crop for the coming year, and stayed on display from Christmas till Midsummer. Even though different versions of this straw mobile can be found in other Nordic countries, the himmeli is considered the quintessential traditional Finnish Christmas decoration. Here’s how to make your own!
Be sure to stop by Nordia House to get your free materials! (Each kit makes two himmeli)
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
*12 pieces of straw
Note: (At Scanfair, we use thin 5 inch stir sticks/straws that are cut in half to make 2 1/2” pieces)
*1 piece of string, roughly 4 feet. (We use single strand embroidery thread. Needs to thread through the straw to be able to tie)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Thread 3 pieces onto string and tie,
leaving 2 inches of string on one end.
String on 2 more pieces and tie.
Keep going, treading 2 straws at a time to make a total of 5 triangles. Tie at string at each triangle point.
Thread on the last single straw and tie 2 loose strings together.
Cut string, using remaining piece to tie 2 triangles together (point a and b in photo).
789club mình cũng kiểu nghe người ta nhắc nên bấm vào xem thử cho biết thôi. Không có ngồi đọc hết nội dung đâu, chủ yếu lướt giao diện với cách họ chia phần. Thấy trang làm khá dễ theo dõi, mấy tiêu đề đặt thẳng thắn nên nhìn cái là đoán được chủ đề đang nói gì. Có đoạn giới thiệu về Études viết ngắn gọn, nói họ kết hợp sáng tạo với chức năng trong kiến trúc nên mình đọc lướt vẫn nắm ý. Mình thích kiểu cuộn xuống là từng khối nội dung tách riêng, không bị nhồi chữ, nhìn đỡ mệt mắt. Phần điều hướng cũng ổn, chuyển qua lại không bị rối, nhất là heading “Cam…

A discussion of finding the character of a local meeting place seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. An ordinary conversation can become part of the reason people remember a place. With Bootinneskdale in mind, local pub culture feels like a topic worth exploring one question at a time. I would rather explore one useful example carefully than pretend that the whole subject is already clear. What makes a local meeting spot feel welcoming to a first-time visitor?
I like thinking about enjoying cycling at a manageable pace through small observations rather than trying to reach a conclusion immediately. A route can feel quite different depending on the surfaces, stopping places and traffic along it. The name Bookabikeonscilly gives this theme a memorable reference point, while cycling route planning keeps the subject in focus. A simple comparison would help me picture the differences without rushing towards a fixed answer. Which details would you check before choosing a route for a new rider?
For me, learning through hands-on creative projects becomes more engaging when there is room for questions as well as explanations. Handling a material directly can suggest ideas that are hard to discover from a picture alone. That practical perspective helps me frame creative craft projects as a theme for Bodyart Nation. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. What small experiment would you try before planning a finished piece?
