Christmas crowns with Christmas straws are ornaments that have been made in Estonia since long time ago. wwwChristmas crowns were believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck and joy to the house for the coming year. All misfortunes are caught in the threads of Christmas straws, and the more of them you have to decorate your home with, the happier and more successful the New Year will be.
In Örreke’s workshop we will make crowns from golden reeds from Saaremaa. Everyone can add their own Christmas decorations to the ready-made crown. When making Christmas straws, you can use up all the yarn left in the cupboards. For a cross, 2 small single-length wooden sticks, reeds or even toothpicks are also suitable.
If you make a crown and a straw together, you can make a particularly proud and large piece of furniture, which each participant has contributed to.
