Instructions to make your wreath ornaments

1. Cut your paper straws into eight pieces each, I found this to be the perfect size for stringing them onto the pipe cleaners.

2. Sort all of your straws and beads into containers and lay our your pipe cleaners.

3. Take the pipe cleaners and bend one end, so when kids are stringing their beads and straws, they won’t fall off.

4. Let the kids string beads and straws onto their pipe cleaners, making sure there is enough room at the top to twist the pipe cleaners into a circle. If they put too many beads and straws onto their pipe cleaner, it’s easy enough to just take a couple off.

5. When your kids are finished, take the pipe cleaners and twist them into a circle. My 7-year-old did this step on her own, my 4-year-old needed some help.

7. Take some of your ribbon and tie colorful bows onto the top of your wreath ornaments where you looped on your string.

    This is such a cute project. I love something that all three of my boys will be able to do, and also helps with fine motor skills. Can’t wait to make these with them for the tree.

    Such a great idea for the season. You could even tuck this one and others away for a rainy/snowy day too. I love having handmade anything. Bonus when my kids make it!
