How about creating such a cute Himmeli to beautifully decorate your reception venue? When hanging it from the ceiling like a garland, the many diamonds will sway and surely catch your guests' attention! ♩
How to Make Himmeli... ♡
Now, you might be wondering how to make Himmeli. Generally, you first thread straw with string to create several diamond-like polyhedra, and then connect them to hang from the ceiling—easy and fun! ♡
Traditional Himmeli is made from straw, but you can certainly substitute other materials for DIY purposes. Now, let me introduce you to some Himmeli DIY ideas! ♩
