How to Make Pipe Cleaner Candy Canes

1. First, bend a pipe cleaner into a candy cane shape.

2. String pony beads onto the pipe cleaner, leaving about a 1/2 inch of pipe cleaner exposed at each end.

3. Fold the ends of the pipe cleaner up around the last bead on either end to secure in place.

Fold the pipe cleaner over on each end and make sure it creates a ball that is larger than the bead. The pipe cleaner “ball” needs to be larger than the bead so that the beads does not fall off.

The shape of the candy cane is perfect for hanging on the tree! No string or ornament hanger required.

Kids can hang their candy canes on the tree, attach to a gift with a ribbon or give them away to friends!
