Seventh Ornament of Christmas

December 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

Kicking off week two of the twelve ornaments of Christmas series are these homemade wreaths made from lace, pipe cleaners, beads and ribbon. My mom made these when I was a kid. To make your own, alternate threading lace and beads onto a pipe cleaner as shown in the photos below. If you’d like to include a candle design in the middle, leave enough room at the end of your pipe cleaner to accommodate the length needed for the candle.

Fourth Ornament of Christmas (plastic canvas poinsettia & birdie)
