DIY Himmeli Geometric Wreath Tutorial

Welcome to Off the Beaten Press! Today, we’re diving into an enchanting DIY project that combines Scandinavian tradition with modern aesthetics: the Himmeli geometric wreath. This stunning piece not only adds a touch of elegance to your home, but also brings a sense of mindfulness to your crafting experience.

Materials Needed:

• Natural straws or wooden dowels
• Twine or fishing line
• Scissors
• A ruler
• A glue gun (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Straws/Dowels
Begin by cutting your straws or dowels into equal lengths. For a classic Himmeli look, aim for pieces that are approximately 10cm long. The more pieces you create, the larger and more intricate your wreath will be.

Step 2: Creating Geometric Shapes
Start with the basic tetrahedron shape. Take three straw pieces and form a triangle, securing the corners with twine. Once you’ve made several triangles, you can combine them to create more complex shapes like pyramids or cubes.

Step 3: Assembling the Wreath
Once your geometric shapes are ready, it’s time to assemble them into a wreath form. Start by arranging your shapes in a circular pattern, attaching them with twine or fishing line at the intersections. Don’t hesitate to mix different shapes for added texture and interest.

Step 4: Finishing Touches
When you’re satisfied with the structure, secure all the connections firmly. If desired, embellish your wreath with dried flowers or greenery for a pop of colour.

Step 5: Hang with Pride
Finally, find the perfect spot for your Himmeli wreath. Whether it’s on your front door or as a statement piece in your living room, this geometric marvel will surely be a conversation starter.

There you have it! A lovely Himmeli geometric wreath that reflects your creativity and brings a touch of Scandinavian charm into your home. Happy crafting!
