Mandilicious Christmas: Himmeli Gift Topper

By Mandi 12/19/2014

You guys are in for a treat today. You’ve adequately stocked up on Cocktail straws from your wreath making I hope? Today we are making a gift topper AND trying out a new video format! (so let me know what you think!)

Mandilicious Christmas is a series that I started a few years ago for inexpensive handmade gifts. This year, we are adding a few holiday festivities to the mix and I could not be more thrilled about it!

  1. I love this! I think I’ll make this on a bigger scale on gold for a Christmas tree topper. You’re the best! Merry Christmas.

  2. I love this! I love all things himmeli! I loved the video format, maybe add in a few written directions, like how may straws you need/how long to cut the straws.
    A few days ago on design sponge you posted a tutorial for a branch ladder. In the pictures there were Himmeli letters. Are you going to do a tutorial for those? Did you buy them? I NEED THEM!!

    Thanks!

  3. I really love that you’re adding in some new formats. A lot of us learn better through video then through reading.
    I will second Heather’s comments on adding written directions on screen through out the video. This can be done in almost any video editing software. A title card / bumber / outro would brand your videos as well. I’m here to help, as I do this for a living!

  4. This such a cool idea! Definitely considering sprucing up some of the gifts under the tree with something like this. Thanks for sharing!
