Mini Christmas Wreath Ornaments for Kids

These mini Christmas wreath ornaments would look so festive on the tree or as a decoration on top of a wrapped gift. It is an adorable craft that requires little prep and almost no clean up! Your kids will love it!

Supplies

• 2 pipe cleaners (1 light green and 1 dark green)
• 1 mini pipe cleaner (red)
• String, twine, or yarn

How to Make the Ornament

Step 1 – Make the Wreath

To begin, twist the 2 green pipe cleaners to combine them together as shown below. Twist along the entire length of the pipe cleaners.

Once the 2 pipe cleaners are twisted together, fold them in half and twist again.

Next, twist the ends of the pipe cleaners together to form a ring, as shown below.

Step 2 – Add the Bow

Where the ends of the pipe cleaners are twisted together, add the red mini pipe cleaner and twist it onto the ring.

This will help keep the wreath held together, and will also be used to create the decorative bow.

To make the bow, take each end of the mini pipe cleaner and form a loop.

Step 3 – Add the String

Kids can make a set of these ornaments and gift them to friends or family.
