DIY: Himmeli Ornaments

Modern Decorative Ornaments
DIY room decor pieces are my favorite to work on. I'm always up for a nice handmade piece that i can easily make and add to my room. These ornaments are just as easy to make and gives a modern chic look to the room. Super classy and will go with almost every room. Also, they can be used in
decor for events like bridal showers, weddings ect. Hang them with candle lights in them for a perfect outdoor event. There are so many kinds of geometrical shapes of these ornaments. I have made the triangular hanging ornaments as in the picture below. And a triangular standing ornament which is in the tutorial below.



Things you need:

- Golden ribbon
- Glue
- Scissors
- Clear tape
- BBQ sticks
- fish wire for hanging

Step#1:


Cut the bbq stick in equal length, whichever you prefer, i didnt measure them, just went with what looks okay, not too big, not too small. For a standing ornament you will need 4 larger ones, 4 medium ones, 4 small and 4 very tiny for the tiny square that is going to be what the ornament will stand on.
For a hanigng one, you will only need three sizes, 4 large, 4 medium and 4 small.


Measure the ribbon equal to the stick and cut it. Spread glue all over the ribbon and paste it around the stick wrapping it like in the picture below:


Now cover all the sticks the same way. You will be covering 4 large size sticks, 4 medium, 4 small and 4 very tiny ones.


Once all of them a covered, move to step number 2:

Step#2:


Now paste the sticks together, first the larger ones like this. It must look like a cross, like a plus sign. 


Finish off with pasting four of the medium ones on bottom, completing the pyramid shape.


Now you will have a pyramid that looks like this. Next step is to make a small square. You need to make this only if you are planning to make a standing ornament and not a hanging one. For the hanging one, you will only need to tape 4 more of the long ones making a second pyramid like in the very first pictures of the ornaments. 


For the standing ornament, join the tiny square to the pyramid with 4 long gold ribbon wrapped sticks and your ornament is ready. You and place it anywhere, with candle inside it, or a flower. Or even on it's own. 
Ornaments have so many different geometrical shapes. I have only made these two.
