The history of the woven Christmas hearts
The woven Christmas heart is a traditional Danish Christmas ornament. An old story tells us that the oldest preserved woven Christmas heart comes from our well known poet and writer H.C. Andersen. This heart was woven using yellow and green paper – and without a handle in the 1860s. A few decades later, the handle was added, and they started to be hung on Christmas trees.
Since then, the weaving of Christmas hearts has been used at Danish kindergartens to strengthen the creative abilities, patience, and fine motor skills of young children. Today, it has become a permanent part of the schedule when creating Christmas decorations around Denmark. The classic Christmas heart is usually red and white in colour, which may symbolise the Danish flag and national pride. The woven Christmas heart is one of the most Danish Christmas ornaments that we have. Therefore, you must create at least one woven Christmas heart during December.
