Chenille Stem Craft Ideas

Your kids will adore twisting and bending brightly colored chenille stems into these fun and easy craft projects.

Chenille Stem Letters

Time to practice the alphabet? Teach your child how to fashion the letters of his name with brightly colored chenille stems.

Make It: Write the letters of your child's name on a piece of paper. Show him how to form chenille stems into the shapes of the letters. Glue the letters onto a sign made from cardstock or foam that has holes punched at the top on each side.

Next, fold a white chenille stem in half to create a hanger. Cut assorted multicolor stems into 6-inch lengths and help your child wrap the pieces tightly around a pencil to form fuzzy "beads." Let him thread the beads onto the white stem, and help him twist each end of the hanger into the holes to complete the sign.
