Candy Canes Ornaments

Red and white are those iconic colors of Christmas for candy canes. I found a pin that showed a craft that I thought would be a cute present for relatives and it could be something that Monkey can do all by herself, for the most part.

SO we are going to make candy cane ornaments.

Necessary Items
 Green Pipe Cleaners (I really do have a love for pipe cleaners)
 Red and White plastic beads
 Glue
 Scissors

Step 1
  Cut one green pipe cleaner in half to create the base for two candy canes.

Step 2
  Bend over a small portion of the pipe cleaner to keep the beads from falling off.

Step 3
  Start sliding on the red and white beads alternating colors to create the candy cane pattern.

Step 4
  Once the pipe cleaner is almost full, bend the other end of the pipe cleaner.

Step 5
  Shape the beaded pipe cleaner into the shape of a candy cane.

Step 6
  This step is optional, but I would suggest it, I glued the ends of the pipe cleaners to the keep the beads from falling off.

 Candy canes!!

My inspiration was a picture that I found on Pinterest, but the link it came to is in a different language that I don't speak or read, so I just kind of guessed what we needed.
