- Scissors or wire cutters
How to make the beaded candy cane ornament
Twist two same-colored pipe cleaners together and offset them so there’s about 2 inches of just one hanging off of each end.
Place a bead (the same color as your pipe cleaner) halfway onto the one the two-inch end and fold the outside inch in, so the ends meet.
String beads on the pipe cleaner in a red/white pattern (I did 17 alternating color sets of 3 – so 51 beads in total).
Once you have it to your desired length, cut one of the two pipe cleaners right at the end of the last bead and trim the second pipe cleaner to about half an inch past the last bead.
Then wrap the excess around the pipe cleaner between the last and second-to-the-last beads tightly.
Curl the pipe cleaner into a candy cane shape and you’re done!
