Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments

It’s a classic Christmas kid craft idea that never gets old! We LOVE this Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments idea and we hope you do too!

Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments

This candy cane themed craft is great for older kids and adults to complete {remember – pony beads can be choking hazards so watch younger kids carefully during and after making this craft!}

I love this particular candy cane beaded ornament craft because it only takes a few minutes to make a whole batch at once. It’s even great in a classroom setting because teachers won’t have to provide a mountain of supplies either {maybe a few packs of pipe cleaners and a big bag of beads to complete it!}

I’ve even “toyed” with the idea of just putting the two supplies in a little plastic baggie with a quick paper tag, as a small Christmas gift. You seriously can’t go wrong with this classic Christmas craft idea!!!
