Very pretty. They really are beautifully simple but really effective. I'm going to have to start keeping a notebook of brilliant ideas like this for next Christmas, or I shall forget all about it!
I suppose you could use an old wire coat hanger as the base, if you are avoiding buying anything new.
Thanks again for sharing your bright ideas StripyPixieSocks!

Oooh, smeone (i think it wa Thomzo) sent me some lovely twisted twig wreath circles last year. I've been meaning to make them into a dream catcher, but i might have to combine them with this and make soemthing sparkly!

Thanks for the tute, i've subscribed to your blog through bloglines now too.

Aww thanks girls!

Yes you could use old wire coat hangers (I hadn't thought of that as I had the wire on hand)

Twig wreaths would work just as well... would love to see them if you make any
