ABOUT US

Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,

Eleanor Ford.

If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.

I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creating

MINI MAD THINGS.

As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES. Head this way to BROWSE our SHOP!

BEAD WREATH DECORATIONS

Fun kids crafts, bead wreath christmas decorations

We made these bead wreath decorations for our Christmas tree but you could also use them to make a mobile or just as pretty ornaments to hang on your wall any time of the year.

Bead threading projects are always fantastic to develop fine motor skills and perseverance in little ones. When making these decorations with my 2 yr old I was surprised by how easily she could thread the wire through the tiny 1mm holes in some of the beads, I think using stiff wire made it much easier.

Please remember to always supervise your little ones when using small loose parts like beads, as they can be a choking hazard.

If you love this project but don't have the materials, check out our fun kids CRAFTS BOXES, our JEWELLERY & THREADING CRAFT BOX includes all the materials you need to make these BEAD WREATHS plus lots of other fun crafts.

MATERIALS:

A selection of beads
Wire
Items from the recycling bin like bottle tops and cardboard
Wire cutters

HOW TO:

Cut a length of wire approximately 30-40cm long depending on how large you would like your wreaths to be. Fold the end of the wire to prevent beads from coming off and begin threading.

Leave approximately 10-15cm of wire and the end then twist the wire together to make a loop. Twist the ends of your wire together and make a hook shape.
