Posted in 2012 - A Year Of Learning to Craft, Blog Posts, October 2012, September 2012, Xmas

Some lovely colourful wreaths next, in a really simple design.

As with the other ornaments, these will be for sale at my Christmas sales, but would love to hear what you think!

Hope you like them!

Red & Green Wreath Ornaments

Tools Needed: None – perfect!

Materials Needed: 448 x 11mm Green 3-Prong Bead, 128 x 6mm Red Bicones, 16 x Red Pipecleaners

Method:

  1. Take a pipecleaner and thread on 7 batches of 1 red bicone + 4 green beads, followed by 1 extra red bicone to finish off.
  2. Bend round into a circle and twist together the pipecleaner to secure.
  3. Bend the left length round to form the bow at the top of the wreath and twist to secure.
  4. Bend the right length round to form the other side of the wreath and twist to secure.

And you’re finished! A nice simple ornament, and easily hung from a length of monofilament line or thread.

As usual, pictures to illustrate. Not the greatest ones from the instruction sheet, but done my best!

Hi! My name's Donna. I've been crafting since I suffered a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in 2007. Stuck in hospital all that year, I started making cards to write letters to relatives in and relieve the boredom. Since then, stuck at home all the time, I've carried on doing that, selling them for charity at Christmas. Now, I want to take my crafting to the next level, and spend 2012 learning a new craft each month. This blog will chart my progress along the way, and hopefully bring some inspiration to some of you too!
