Crafting is best when it’s kept simple and this beaded candy cane step-by-step guide will encourage kids to create their Christmas Ornaments independently.

What you need to Make Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments:

  • Tri-star beads red and white
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Scissors

The tri-star beads can be swapped for pony beads or even wooden beads for a primitive classic Christmas feel.
