Pipe Cleaner Loop Garland
This nostalgic DIY Pipe Cleaner Loop Garland proves that holiday decorating does not need to be complicated to feel special. With minimal materials and easy assembly, you can create a custom garland to add a festive touch to your home during the holidays.
Ingredients
- Pipe cleaners
- Wire Cutters or Scissors
Instructions
- Begin by cutting each pipe cleaner in half.
- Take one half and bend it into a loop, crossing the two ends over each other by about ½ inch.
- Holding the loop in place, wrap the ends around the loop itself, twisting them snugly so the loop is secured. Use your fingers to gently adjust the shape until it looks round and even.
- To add another loop, slide a new half pipe cleaner through the first loop. Bend it into a loop, again crossing the ends over each other by about ½ inch. Wrap and twist the ends around the loop to secure it, then adjust the shape as needed.
- Continue adding loops the same way, always threading the new piece through the previous loop before wrapping and twisting it closed. Keep going until the garland reaches your desired length.
- NOTE: I ordered a box of 200 pipe cleaners each for the gold and silver. I ended up using the entire lot of 200 silver pipe cleaners. This made enough to wrap around my Christmas tree and my Mom’s Christmas tree with garland to spare.
