Simple Chenille Stem Christmas Wreaths

Here you can see how I recycled Mardi Gras beads for a
doll Christmas wreath craft. There are many ways to 
recycle unwanted holiday items into something new!

       Nothing says welcome to our home like a cheerful, festive wreath wired to the front door of your dollhouse! Wreaths are so simple to make, you'll want to make more than one.

       Take time and care to attach a tiny hook permanently to your dollhouse door so that you can change out the decorations according to the season or holiday.

Supply List:

• furry chenille stems in green or red
• Mardi-Gras beads or any beads
• ribbon 
• wire for a hook attachment
• hot glue gun and hot glue
  

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Twist the chenille stem into a wreath shape. Hold the initial shape up to the door or wall that you would like to decorate it with. Then you can reshape the wreath larger or smaller if need be.
2. Twist the Mardi-Gras beads around the wreaths and hot glue these to the chenille stems as needed.
3. Shape the ribbons into bows and hot glue these onto the top of each wreath.
4. Shape and hook a small wire to the back of the ribbon for hanging.
