A sparkly, simple Christmas craft that kids will love—and they look adorable twinkling in a sunny window or hanging on a mini tree!
🧵You’ll Need:
- Red pony beads
- White pony beads
- Pipe cleaners (white or red work best!)
- Child-safe scissors
- Ribbon or string for hanging (optional)
✂️Directions:
- Prep Your Pipe Cleaner
 Cut your pipe cleaner in half if you’d like smaller candy canes, or leave it full size for a longer one. Bend a tiny knot at one end so the beads stay put.
- Bead the Pattern
 String the pony beads onto the pipe cleaner in a red-white-red-white pattern. Keep going until it’s about ¾ full, leaving just enough room to bend the ends.
- Shape Your Candy Cane
 Twist the open end to hold beads in place, then gently bend the top into a candy cane hook shape.
- Hang & Display
 Loop a ribbon through the top if desired, or simply hook them onto window sills, trees, or gifts for extra sparkle!
Tips:
- Want more shimmer? Use glitter beads or metallic pipe cleaners.
- Turn this into a gift tag or ornament by adding a name with a mini label!
