Pipe Cleaner Wreath Ornament Craft

This Pipe Cleaner Wreath Craft is probably one of the simplest of all ornaments to make with younger kids. They are colorful ornaments for the Christmas tree and great gifts to give out at Christmas.
When it comes to make Christmas crafts with the kids, I like to keep it simple like with this Christmas gumball machine craft, this coat hanger Santa, and these Salt Dough Gingerbread Ornaments.
This craft is a great way to keep the kids busy while you are preparing for the holidays. If you are comfortable with your children handling small beads, then they can probably make this pipe cleaner bead ornament. Add a bowl of beads, ribbon, and green chenille stems to the kids’ Christmas Table, and they will stay busy crafting some wreaths for you to hang on the tree.
Supplies You’ll Need
- Pipe Cleaner – I have made the mistake of getting a pack of slender ones. Stick with the old-fashioned fuzzy kind.
- About twenty-five or more beads
How to Make this Christmas Ornament
Slide about twenty-five beads almost to the end of a pipe cleaner. Leave about two inches of pipe cleaner without beads.
You should have the same amount of pipe cleaner without beads on the other side. It should look symmetrical.
Curve the ornament around so that the beads on either side meet
Twist the pipe cleaner together
form a bow with the ends
Optional: Slide a ribbon through your loop on the chenille stem. Tie a knot to secure the ribbon.
