# Chenille Stem Accessories The Pugly Pixel Fuzzy Rings are Made Out of Crafty Pipe Cleaners By Meghan Young | Published 2012-02-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pugly-pixel-fuzzy-rings References: [thetrendygirl.net](http://www.thetrendygirl.net/2012/02/diy-bagues-en-oreilles-de-lapin.html) & [puglypixel](http://www.puglypixel.com/2012/02/10/handmade-asos-inspired-fuzzy-rings/) Cutely crafty and enchantingly girly, the Pugly Pixel Fuzzy Rings are made out of chenille stems, also known as pipe cleaners. Inspired by ASOS's [stackable bunny rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisty-petz), which are made out of metal, these adorable accessories make up a [do-it-yourself project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits) that is practical and affordable -- not to mention a fun pastime. Created by blogger Katrina, the Pugly Pixel Fuzzy Rings take on two distinctive shapes: [a rabbit and a mouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluffee-floss). Easy to make, the colorful pipe cleaners simply need to be twisted once around a finger and then the excess is wound down into two neat spiraled circles. From there, they can be left for a Mickey Mouse effect or pinched at the top for a Rabit one. The Pugly Pixel Fuzzy Rings are a great hobby for both big and little girls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Accessories:** Opportunity for craft companies to offer affordable DIY accessory kits using unconventional materials. - **Chenille Stem Crafts:** Opportunity for craft stores and hobbyists to promote chenille stems as a versatile craft material for jewelry making and other projects. - **Pugly Pixel Style:** Opportunity for fashion companies to incorporate cute and quirky DIY style into their accessory lines, appealing to younger demographics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Supplies:** Craft supply stores can market chenille stems and offer workshops for jewelry making, creating a new source of revenue. - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can incorporate DIY-inspired accessories into their product lines, appealing to younger consumers and increasing customer engagement. - **DIY Kits:** Companies specializing in DIY kits can offer affordable and unique accessory kits using unconventional materials to stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glam Bracelet-Making Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-bracelet-kit.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Ice Pop Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoku-ring-pop-mold.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Beverage-Aesthetic Playful Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slush-ring.md) - [Charming Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove.md) - [Wearable Magnetic Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-fidget-toy.md) - [Customizable Ring Print Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signet-print-kit.md)
