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!}
