direct Mini Pipe Cleaner Wreath Ornaments:

Supplies:

Cardboard (an old cereal box is ideal)

Pipe cleaners in different color

Optional Decorative items: Ribbon, beads, felt, stickers…

Instructions:

1. To begin, you need to cut out a small “O” out of cardboard. Trace two circles onto your cardboard. The outside should be about 3-4″ in diameter. The one inside, will be offset inside of the outside line about 1″ to 1 1/2″ inches(see image). Cut out the ring of cardboard.

2. Wrap the “o” with your pipe cleaners in the color of your choice. The amount of pipe cleaners will vary depending on the size of your shape. Start by crimping a short end around the form (I did mine diagonally in the direction I was wrapping the pipe cleaners, so that it got covered. And wrap till you need to add another. Tuck all ends under the next course of pipe cleaners.
