This time of year is great time to get your little ones involved in decorating for the holidays. This easy craft has been around for a long time and it's one of my all-time-favorites!
Fine-motor skills are in action with this DIY. Have your child make a bunch of them. They are perfect to hang on the tree and as a special gift for a friend!
Candy Cane Ornament DIY
Ingredients
Preparation
- Cut the pipe cleaner in half.
- Put on red bead, then bend the end of the pipe cleaner around that bead to secure it.
- Feed the next bead onto the pipe cleaner to cover the sharp end.
- Feed the rest of the beads, one by one, coming up with a pattern (or not!).
- After the last bead is added, bend the pipe cleaner around the bead to secure.
- Feed the stem back through the second bead to cover the sharp end again.
