During the holidays, I really enjoy making all kinds of related ornaments and jewelry. Very often, I even give them out at small gifts, but I have many people on my ?small gift? list and not a lot of time or money. Therefore, each year I rack my brain and try to come up with easy to make and inexpensive projects. This not something that is going to be a family heirloom. It?s just a way of saying ?thank you? or ?have a nice holiday? to someone.

This ?So-Easy Bead and Wire Wreath? is one of the projects I came up with for those on my ?small gift? list. You can whip up gobs of these super quickly, and they are also excellent for children to make.

The materials and tools you need are very minimal. In fact, you don?t need any tools, just your hands. The pipe cleaners are basically coated wire, and it?s very soft and easy to bend.

You?ll need:

15 acrylic green pony beads
1 ? 12 inch red pipe cleaner
