This mini wreath is super quick and easy to make. You’ll only need a few supplies, and you can easily change up the color of the beads to create mini wreaths for different holidays and occasions. String one with thread or ribbon to make beaded wreath ornaments for the Christmas tree, too!
Supplies Needed
a memory wire bracelet form (found in the jewelry making aisle of the craft store)
a small pair of wire cutters
1/4″ black beads
glue dots
Instructions
1. Use the wire cutters to snip a complete circle of wire with about 1/2″ of overlap from the memory wire bracelet form.
2. String the beads along the wire until you’ve filled the entire wire.
3. Insert the overlapping ends of the wire into the end beads on either side. At this point, you can secure with super glue or another quick drying, non-bulky glue, but if you’re not going to be hanging the wreath or handling it a lot, then glue isn’t required.
4. Attach the calendar number using glue dots.
