Beaded Ornaments

How we did it:
Materials List
- pipe cleaners - assorted colors
- ribbon - assorted colors
- beads - tri-beads, assorted colors
- scissors
-
Gather your materials.
-
Thread beads onto a pipe cleaner. We alternated between red and white beads to make a candy cane.
-
Continue threading on beads until ¾ of the pipe cleaner is filled.
-
Cut both ends of the pipe cleaner so that they’re about a half inch long.
-
Fold each end of the pipe cleaner and stick them into the beads on either end to keep the beads in place. Then, shape your candy cane!
-
Tip!
Candy canes are made for hanging on trees with their little “hook” at the top. For other ornament shapes, try tying a piece of ribbon to the top!
