Pipe Cleaner Wreaths

Supplies - 

Green Pipe Cleaners 

Straw

Elmers Glue 

Glitter or Other Decorations

Small Paint Brush

Ribbon 

Optional - Hot Glue and Small Bells

Directions - 

Take your green pipe cleaner and tightly wrap it around a straw in a circle.

When you’re done, squish it down off the straw rather than pulling it to keep the fullness of the wreath.

Do this with a few pipe cleaners to reach your desired size. (The photo shown used 3 spiraled pipe cleaners.)

Take another green pipe cleaner and thread the spiraled ones onto it.

Take the straight pipe cleaner ends and thread them through a couple of the spirals on one side, then tighten to form the circle of the wreath.

Twist any leftover pipe cleaner on the back and trim off excess.

Use a small paint brush to paint a thin layer of Elmer’s glue on the wreath.

Sprinkle glitter or decorations of your choice.

If you’re adding bells, apply a bit of hot glue to the bell, stick it to the wreath, and hold for 30–60 seconds.

Tie your ribbon into a bow, dab a little glue on the back, and hold it in place for 30–60 seconds.
