Alunperin minun piti tehd\u00e4 toisenlainen joulukoristeaskartelu t\u00e4h\u00e4n joulukalenteriin, mutta kohtasin yll\u00e4tt\u00e4v\u00e4n materiaalin saatavuusongelman. No ehk\u00e4 sekin viel\u00e4 ehtii, muutama p\u00e4iv\u00e4 on viel\u00e4 ensiviikolla aikaa. Jouduin sitten v\u00e4h\u00e4n improvisoimaan ja tein t\u00e4llaisia omasta p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 s\u00e4vellettyj\u00e4 minilyhtyj\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ostin viime kes\u00e4n\u00e4 er\u00e4\u00e4n paikallisen kaupan loppuunmyynnist\u00e4 pari pakettia kimaltavia piippurasseja askartelua varten. En ihan tarkalleen ottaen tiennyt viel\u00e4 silloin mit\u00e4 n\u00e4ist\u00e4 syntyisi. Sitten kun paniikissa googlailin ett\u00e4 mit\u00e4p\u00e4 sit\u00e4 voisi kuuseen askarrella t\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna, t\u00f6rm\u00e4sin himmeleihin ja piippurasseista tehtyihin himmeleihin. Alunperin ajatuksena oli tehd\u00e4 pieni kimaltava himmeli, mutta kun olin saanut pari t\u00e4llaista osasta valmiiksi ne eiv\u00e4t n\u00e4ytt\u00e4neetk\u00e4\u00e4n mielest\u00e4ni ihan himmelilt\u00e4 vaan pikkuruisilta lyhdyilt\u00e4. Lampun virkaa toimittamaan laitoin pikkuruiset lasiset pallot joita j\u00e4i yli viime- tai toissavuonna lahjapakettien koristelusta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yhteen lyhtyyn menee kolme piippurassia. Kiinnit\u00e4 kaksi rassia keskikohdasta ristiksi kietomalla toinen tiiviisti toisen ymp\u00e4ri. Taivuta rassit pyramidia muistuttavaan muotoon. Ota kolmas piippurassi ja kiinnit\u00e4 se yhteen nelj\u00e4st\u00e4 sakarasta. Kuljeta t\u00e4m\u00e4 rassi jokaisen nelj\u00e4n sakaran kautta ja kiedo kunkin ymp\u00e4ri tiukasti. Koita pit\u00e4\u00e4 et\u00e4isyydet kussakin sakarassa samana jotta lyhdyst\u00e4 tulee symmetrinen. Voit piirt\u00e4\u00e4 paperille apumitat joihin ty\u00f6t\u00e4 vertaamalla saat mitat pysym\u00e4\u00e4n suurinpiirtein samoina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kun olet saanut kolmannen rassin kieputettua kunkin sakaran ymp\u00e4ri, kiinnit\u00e4 se lopuksi siihen sakaraan johon aluksi sen kiinnitit. Leikkaa ylim\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4inen p\u00e4tk\u00e4 pois. Piippurasseja voi leikata saksilla, mutta pid\u00e4 mieless\u00e4 ett\u00e4 ter\u00e4\u00e4n voi tulla pikkuruisia koloja rassin runkona olevista metallilangoista. Muotoile runko kulmikkaaksi ja taivuta sakarat toisiaan kohti muodostaen lyhdyn yl\u00e4osan. Kiedo jokainen sakara kertaalleen seuraavan sakaran ymp\u00e4ri, suurin piirtein samalle et\u00e4isyydelle. Kieputa lopuksi sakaroiden p\u00e4\u00e4t kiehkuroiksi. Tarkista muoto. Lyhdyn keskelle voit kiinnitt\u00e4\u00e4 ohuella nauhalla tai langalla esim t\u00e4llaisia pikkuruisia lasipalloja tai vaikka paperista askarreltuja viuhkapalluroita, kristalleja, origamit\u00e4hti\u00e4, huovutettuja pallosia, kulkusia tai mit\u00e4 nyt mieleen juolahtaa. Kiinnit\u00e4 lopuksi lyhyn yl\u00e4osaan ripustuslanka. Tadaa! Piippurassilyhdyt ovat valmiit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally I was going to do different kind of Christmas decoration for this calendar, but I encountered surprising material availability problem. Well, I still have time, perhaps the material arrives next week. But I had to improvise and so I made these mini lanterns that I designed myself as I went along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer I bought these glittery pipe cleaners from local shop’s closing down sales. I didn’t exactly know what I was going to make with them at that time. Then come December, I panic googled what Christmas decor to make this year and saw himmeli and pipe clearner himmeli. I was thinking of making glittery himmeli of these, but when I managed to make couple of these little thingies, they didn’t really look like himmeli to me. They were rather like little lanterns. And for the little lamp I found some leftover mini baubles, which I got last year or year before that, for decorating gifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One lantern takes three pipe cleaners. Connect two of them by twisting one tightly around the other at the middle. Bend them like a shape of a pyramid. Take third pipe cleaner and twist the end of it around one of the pipecleaners. Take this third pipe cleaner to each section and twist it around it. Try to keep the distances the same each time. You can draw desired measurements on the paper and compare your work to those measurements before bending and twisting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the third pipe cleaner is around each section, connect it again to the one you twisted with first. Cut excess off. You can use scissors to cut pipe cleaners, but keep in mind that blades might get dents from the metal wires inside pipe cleaners. Shape the body of the lantern into a sharp and pointy. Bend the ends of each pipe cleaner towards each other in the middle. Twist each end around the next one tightly. Make sure it looks pretty even on measurements. Then when each end is secured together, bend the ends into cute curls. Check the shape. You can add little glass bauble in the middle with a narrow ribbon or yarn. You can use also origami stars, chrystals, felted balls, bells or paper balls or what ever comes to your mind. Finally, add a thread for hanging. Tadah! Mini pipe cleaner lanterns are ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joulukuusi ei ole viel\u00e4 pystytetty joten ripustin n\u00e4m\u00e4 nyt kuvausta varten t\u00e4h\u00e4n kynttelikk\u00f6\u00f6n. \/
Our Christmas tree is not up yet, so I hung these on my candelabra for photographying. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Piippurassit ovat melko pehme\u00e4\u00e4 metallia, joten jos haluat s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4 koristeet seuraavia jouluja varten, pakkaa ne joulun j\u00e4lkeen ilmavasti tukevaan rasiaan jotta ne eiv\u00e4t lytisty. \/
Pipecleaners are quite soft metal, so if you want to keep them for future Christmasses, pack them away after holidays into sturdy container, so they don’t get squashed. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
