This morning Rebecca and I made some Christmas decorations together (to give away as presents). I bought some beads and glittery pipecleaners (also known as chenille sticks) from a $2 shop and used the instructions from here to make them. We did it a little differently, because we decided to make angels as well as wreaths. To make the angels, we started off the same way with the loop in the middle, but then shaped it into a triangle after we have threaded the beads. Then we added the wings by twisting pipecleaners around the top to get the right shape.
Rebecca also wanted to make some look like Mary, so we just did them with straight bits of pipecleaner for arms.
Rebecca loved doing it. The pipecleaner is much easier to thread beads onto than elastic, thread or wire, so she could do it all by herself!

Great idea! We did some ornaments like this last year. I think the pipe cleaners hold their shape a little better than wire, too.
how cute. Your daughter is adorable too!
