Ingredients
- Wire coat hanger or thick jewelry wire
- 24 glittered clothespins available in packs of 12 at Hobby Lobby
- Jumbo jingle bells available at Hobby Lobby and Amazon
- Christmas Ribbon
- Hot glue
- Candy cards, or other small treats
Instructions
- Twist the wire into a circular shape to form the wreath. You can use either a thick jewelry wire or a wire coat hanger that you straighten out.
- Thread the wire through the spring of each clothespin and cup of each jingle bell, creating a pattern. We did a red and green clothespin and then a bell for our pattern. The goal is to end up with about 24 clothespins or how many you'd like for your countdown.
- When the pattern is complete, twist the wire together to secure it into a wreath shape.
- On the back of the wreath, use a small amount of hot glue to secure the clothespins and bells so they do not spin around the wire.
- When the glue is dry, flip the wreath over. Tie the ribbon into a bow and attach to the wreath at the top where the wire is twisted together with hot glue.
- Place a small treat on each clothespin.
- Each day, remove the treat to countdown to Christmas.
- Optional: Add a number or date to each clothespin to help countdown.
Notes
Add a number to each clothespin to make it easy to countdown until Christmas.
Grab fun little treats at the dollar store to keep this craft and Christmas countdown inexpensive.
Store it in your Christmas décor so you can use it over and over again. It will quickly become something the kids love to dig out every year and starting down to Christmas with!
