We had created the beautiful Sparkling Beaded Holiday Wreath and Beadable Holiday Wreath Earrings last month. We’re continuing our festive tutorials with MORE holiday wreaths! We have three holiday wreath ideas for you to celebrate with this holiday season using memory wire.

Items used in wreath: SBBM0005 (10 pks) & WR00121

Tory had designed a cute wreath on our Facebook Live episode, using memory wire and jingle bell charm/beads (SBBM0005). This lightweight jingle bell wreath dangle would be cute as a present topper, Christmas tree ornament or even make a pair of earrings with them! Here is the video tutorial where Tory teaches how to quickly make and assemble a wreath of your own. It will be helpful to know how to make a hoop with memory wire.
