Main supplies:

  • 36” Length craft wire – green
  • Pacon® Multi-faceted beads – 10 beads, assorted colors and sizes
  • 12” Length plastic craft lace – red
  • Fiskars® Diagonal Cutters
  • Pencil

Instructions:
1. Bend a small hook on one end of wire so beads can’t slide off. String beads on straight end alternating colors and sizes. Slide to end with hook.
2. Start at end with the hook, wrap wire in a coil around the pencil (about 4 times around the pencil) spacing beads about 6” apart as you go. Keep moving the pencil until all wire is coiled. Bend the end of the wire so beads can’t slide off.
3. Bend one end of the wire into a 3” circle. Wrap remaining wire around circle going from front to back interlocking loops as you go (about 4-5 times). Bend end of wire into wreath to secure.
4. Tie the red craft lace in a bow, centered on the bottom front of the wreath.
