I just went on the store the other day and one of these glass filled geometric shapes (smaller than in the video!) was almost $50?!?!? Thank God for this tutorial!
Ahmaaazingg ❤️❤️ I was going to buy this in metal but was delaying it because it's way to expensive. This just allowed me to save money and be creative!!
You don't even notice the difference and you can make them in any shape you want! I always get a lot of compliments on them, and people are surprised it's basically just painted straws 😂 Let me know how it goes!
I tried it out and i love it!!! I didnt have wire so i used wool, needless to say it took about 3 hours just to get the structure (i made the one with the 30 straws) thank you so much for making this video 😄😄😄😄
Thank you 💖 Oh, I feel yah... When I tried to make it the first time around, I used some transparent nylon thread, and omg, I couldn't get it to stay put! 😂 Even with tons of knots, somewhere it ended up always being a bit loose and the whole thing collapsed! I actually admire the fact that you were able to make it work!!!
It was actually really hard to make it because i had to use only one thread and it was super long and it always took ages just to put one thread through the straw and it was also very hard to put wool in a straw that already had wool in it because its thick but in the end it looked very nice and i love the way it turned out i am very thankful for your video :-)
Himmeli is an old Finnish Christmas decoration, made from hay straws and yarn, they kinda look like chandeliers. They were hung from the cottage ceilings. It's pronounced /ˈhimːeli/ and the word is derived from the Swedish word himmel, meaning sky or heaven. I'll most likely make the 30-piece one, I like that shape a lot
I have two suggestions. One is to use full length straws. The other is to use half length straws. This might help to minimise waste. Everything else is wonderful!
Omg thank you! Was trying to find these online for our center pieces and they are going for $20-$50 per piece, that's a lot of money since we would need 20 of then. I didnt even think of using straws, but I'm glad you made this video. ❤
Ohh! Yep, that would add up to quite a sum 🙀 And you would end up with 20 himmeli sculptures in the end 😂 A few looks cute in a home, 20 not so much! Hahaha
A couple of tips! - make sure you don’t use the bendy straws. If you include the bendy part, it’s likely to make your piece look a little lopsided - if you’re like me and too lazy to do the copper wire, try glue dots instead! This will hold together the pieces, but still flexible enough to move it around as needed. Glue dots inside the piece, then hot glue at the end outside. - Don’t use normal thread! This will just make everything more complicated - if you think you can get away with only using hot glue… you’re wrong 😂 *speaking from experience Hope this helps someone :)
If you haven’t checked his youtube channel, Kevin Rupard took inpso from this, and made copper colored geometric shapes! He’s good I hope you both can collab on an idea someday
Wowwww ❤❤❤ got blown by ur explanations ❤ lots n lots of luv to yu ❤ this is so damn nice ❤ am obsessed with this one!!! Guess am gonna make sooooo much in my room 🤣
Heyy, I saw the same video uploaded by someone, but in a different language. I think she just downloaded your video and uploaded on her own channel using her name.
Heyy! Thank you so much for letting me know! Do you know if it was also under the username Lily Rose? I also have a German Channel and used to upload Videos there. Many times I uploaded one in English and one in German. But thank you so much for looking out!!!!
I used hot glue and shaped it with my finger (after dipping in water). It makes the corners look super professional, but, not gonna lie, you can easily *burn* your fingertips like this ⚠️ 😂 I try to work quickly!
@@DIYwithLily Thank you for answering! I know its annoying getting these mid video questions, I saw at the end you explained. I'm willing to brave the burns these look amazing!
Hello my friend how are you?loved this video,and ur hands too,so beautiful 😇 My friend i have a question I watched one video in that the RUclipsr used bamboo skewers?what is better skewers or straws And one more thing in one another video I saw the youtuber cut the straws at 45 degree angles for joints?is it a good tip?what r the pros and cons plz advise Thanks 😊
Thank you for this video, it's exactly what I'm looking for! I never thought to use straws, kinda blew my mind. Do you think acrylic paint would work in place of spray paint?
I think so! The only thing I would say is, start with a thin layers and if you want to avoid brush marks, use sponge. It will take you a bit longer to get to the same opaque gold (plastic in general is a bit hard to paint). Or maybe, if you find it, use paper straws and it will be way easier to paint with acrylic paint 😊
Very inspiring... Can you please tell me what gold spray paint you used. I did some gold spray paint projects earlier, but it didn't looked like made up of gold like it does in yours
Thank you 💖 The lighter gold is normal gold spray paint by Krylon (used on the pyramid). The darker, old gold, was from some italian brand I had never heard of (don't have the spray paint can anymore, to check the correct name), that I bought at a small crafts store. ☺️

Actually it didnt take too long! Maybe the more complicated one took a bit over an hour... but the other ones were done so quickly! And of course, the hot glue part may take a bit more if you are trying to make it look really professional.
The issue with this is more it's quite time consuming, and it would end up being a loooooooong and boring video for you guys to watch ☺️ But let me know how I can help you! Which one did you have problems with?
Just had to subscribe most for the video(yes, sub after watching just one, u have to be good^^), but also because your awesom name (if it really is Lily😁😜🙈) Soo, thx for good and "happy" video, //Lilly
Lily Rose thats so cool love it i bet you get asked that question alot if you live here in America. We're suckers for great accents especially an Ireland, New Zealand, Australian, and Southern accent
If made with wire, they are actually quite sturdy! But of course, they are decor pieces, so their main purpose is to sit on a shelf or on a table/desk (this videos is now almost 2 years old, and mine are still looking good 😁).
Her voice is fine. Don't really like it? Don't really listen to it! The directions are great, but if you are that bothered, you can always mute the video and just watch what she's doing. She does a very good job demonstrating, so you dn't need the sound.
Swooosh, and this one just totally went over your head 😂 The whole point of my videos is re-creating decor (etc.) for cheap and easily at home, without too many tools 😉Different audience, I guess 🤷♀️

Hi what paint did you use? Did you have to prime the straws 😊
Thank you for this tutorial! Been looking for one that was detailed. You explained it very well. I can’t wait to make these for my wedding. ❤

I have two suggestions. One is to use full length straws. The other is to use half length straws. This might help to minimise waste.

Going to use this video to make my center pieces for my wedding! Using straws is so much cheaper than on amazon!
I'm so glad I was able to help! 😊 And congratulations 😍😍😍

Lily Rose Thanks for sharing. I just began cutting my straws. I got a 8 month old. Let's see when I can complete this :p
First of all, congrats!! 💜 And good luck on this, let me know how it went 😁
The pentágono is really VERY dificult!

Could you tell me the wire you are using? I am trying to do this but my wire isn’t working.
I'm not sure the gauge, but it's the typical florist wire 😁

Graciasss ❤❤❤
Beautiful! What is the wire called?
You can use any wire, the one I use I think can be found as floral wire 😁
? what did you use to hide the wire where the straws connect? glue?
I used hot glue ☺️
Hello, what is the diameter of your wire? a great video !!
Ohh, I don’t know, tbh 😬 But it was thin wire that you normally buy for flower arrangements! If that somehow helps 😂
Wonderful
Thank you ❤
What gauge wire did you use?
I'm not sure what gauge my wire was 😬 But pretty much any floral wire should work, since it tends to be smaller 😊
How long did you take to make one? So beautiful.
Actually it didnt take too long! Maybe the more complicated one took a bit over an hour... but the other ones were done so quickly! And of course, the hot glue part may take a bit more if you are trying to make it look really professional.
