When it comes to decorating for Christmas, many of us think of twinkling lights, colorful ornaments, and festive wreaths. But there’s a quieter, more mindful tradition rooted in ancient craftsmanship that deserves a spot in your holiday celebrations: himmeli.

These delicate geometric ornaments, traditionally made from straw, embody both simplicity and beauty. Originating in Finland, himmeli were originally crafted as harvest decorations, hung from ceilings to bring good fortune and ensure a bountiful year ahead. Over time, they evolved into cherished Christmas decorations, symbolizing balance, harmony, and the promise of renewal.

Why Make a Himmeli?

Crafting a himmeli is more than just a creative project; it’s a way to connect with age-old traditions, slow down, and appreciate the beauty in simplicity. These ornaments remind us to find joy in handmade treasures, particularly in today’s fast-paced world.

Hemp: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Tradition

In keeping with our love for sustainable practices and hemp, we’ve given this tradition a contemporary twist by crafting himmeli using hemp stalks. Hemp is not only eco-friendly but also versatile, making it a perfect material for modern himmeli. It’s a small way to celebrate the season while staying true to our values of sustainability and craftsmanship.
