Here’s a cool idea. How about making a Christmas wreath out of pipe cleaners?
They are small, being made of pipe cleaners. They are roughly 2 inches across.
They’d be perfect for decorating wrapped gifts. You could even attach one to the envelope of a Christmas card. You could use them for all sorts of things! You could put one on the front door of Barbie’s dreamhouse!
The kids can definitely be involved with this project. There is only a little bit of scissor work, and if they are not scissors-handy, Mom or Dad could do the cutting for them. I think the kids would be really happy with their handiwork. It’s a pretty cool Christmas wreath.

Step-By-Step Instructions
