Craft a Chenille Stem Wreaths

Two different styles of Christmas wreaths made using 
chenille stems for the dollhouse.
       Chenille stem wreaths are perhaps some of the easiest miniature ornaments to make. Every dollhouse needs one or two at least. I've made two versions here with only a few additional supplies. Red, green and white both are sure to be just the things to trim the dollhouse with this coming holiday season.

 Supply List:
  • red, green, and white chenille stems
  • wire for hanging
  • small red pom poms for berries
  • green felt for holly leaves
  • hot glue gun and hot glue

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. First, measure the space on the dollhouse wall or door where you would like to hang a festive Christmas wreath.
  2. Braid or twist red and white or green and white chenille stems together to create a pattern with sharp color contrast. 
  3. Then bend the stems into a hoop shape for the wreath(s), making them no larger than the measurements taken in step number one.
  4. You may tie or shape a festive bow using a chenille stem or red ribbon for the braided version pictured on the right. 
  5. Cut holly leaves from dark green felt to glue to the candy cane wreath using hot glue and then glue the red pom poms on top of the leaves afterwards.
