Here are the supplies you will need:

Step 1

Wrap pipe cleaners around a pencil.

Make sure to wrap snug – but not tightly – around the pencil.

Gently slide the pipe cleaner off of the pencil making sure to leave it coiled.

Do this 3 times.

Step 2

Once you have all three pipe cleaners coiled, thread all three of  them onto another pipe cleaner.

Bring both ends together to form a wreath.

Using your hands to form a wreath- or like I did here, find a bottle or something round to wrap your pipe cleaners  around.

Twist the ends tightly together.

Snip off excess with wire cutters.

Step 3

Decorate your wreath!

I used tiny bells, bows and rhinestones of all different sizes and colors.

To adhere the embellishments I started with hot glue and quickly went to using this silver glitter glue.

It saved my fingers and since it was silver you couldn’t see it at all.

Note: the fluffier the pipe cleaner the bigger your wreath will be!

Now it’s time to add them to my presents.
