What You Will Need:

Pipe Cleaners (to match colour of beads)

18 Pony Beads

Matching ribbon

How to:

You can makes dozens of these in a very short time. Simply strand beads onto a pipe cleaner stem. The ornaments shown here, are small ornaments, but you can make them as large as you like.

To secure the beads in place, simply twist the two ends of the pipe cleaner together. To cover the area where you have twisted the pipe cleaner, just tie a shoe lace bow around the pipe cleaner.

If you want hangers for these (I just placed the centre of the wreath onto a branch stem), you can create one, but do this before you wrap your bow around. Tie a hanger around the exposed pipe cleaner area and then tie your bow on top of the hanger.
