Bastelei - noun / basteln - verb
usually involves scissors, glue, paper, paint - can also involve thread, wool, beads, card board and the like ... I haven't found a good way to trasalte it. But it's what I did today vurtsey of my sister.
She made me a chain light with little round lamp shades from sort of thick transparent paper for my Birthday last summer. She then informed me 4 days before Christmas that that would be the perfect present for her - fat chance! I told her to wait for her birthday well and that iscoming up this week.
So she will get her own personal light chain with lamp shades - I went for yellow and red. They give a warm light. A few more minutes and I can take off the cloth pins and then wrap the whole thing up and post it.

ReplyDeleteWow, what a nice hand made gift! I'd never thought to fancy up a string of lights myself?! I agree the red and yellow give the whole thing a nice warm glow. How do you secure the paper bells to the line? cheers, CW
