Pipe cleaners & Pom poms
Chenille is the French word for caterpillar. It's a nod to how flexible, bendy, and colorful this wire is. And of course you can use it to make beautiful caterpillars and butterflies with it.
You can use pom-poms to make all kinds of animals and flowers, but also use them to make necklaces, garlands, and scarves. Or how about using them as a finish for a rug, hat, or pillow?
Another name for chenille wire is pipe cleaner. It is often used to give stuffed animals a flexible tail or paws. But of course there are thousands of other ways to use chenille in your arts and crafts. Bend for example a pair of glasses ouf of pipe cleaners or combine the strings with beads.
Variations and Creations
Pipe cleaners are available in various widths and lengths, in a myriad of colors. They're even available in metallic colors. Buy sets of 25 or 100 of the same color, or a set with 45 different colors.
