DIY Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments For The Tree

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 a pipe cleaner or two in a little baggie with the handful of beads, as a small Christmas gift.

You seriously can’t go wrong with this classic Christmas craft idea!!!

THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:

First simply bend your pipe cleaner in a candy cane shape and bend one end a few times, so the beads won’t slide off of it.

Then start threading {in a rotating red and white pattern} your pony beads onto the pipe cleaner, until full.

When you are done stringing the beads, simply bend the other end of the pipe cleaner closed to complete & secure the candy cane craft.

Repeat the above steps again to make even more awesome candy cane themed pieces!

Then hang your beautiful pieces on the tree as is by the loop of the finished piece or tie some string to the top of it for even more EASIER hanging.

This beaded candy cane ornament idea is also great to place on your Christmas gifts {it doubles as a gift too since the receiver can keep it for years to come!}
