Materials:
- Pipe cleaners (I used metallic 12 inch ones, but you can use any kind you like!)
- Large beads (I used plastic pony beads, just make sure the bead opening is large enough to fir onto the pipe cleaner)
- Something cylinder shaped to shape the icicle (like a marker, knitting needle, dowel rod, etc. Even a simple broom handle would work!)
Sizing:
- Pipe cleaner before bending is 12 inches long.
- Each icicle is about 7 inches tall after bending it into the spiral shape.
Notes:
- You can make this without beads too for a different look.
- Try using multicolor or glittery pipe cleaners like I did for an extra festive touch!
- These can be hung on a tree like a traditional ornament, but also look cute strung across a window or as a unique gift topper that can be hung on a tree later!
Instructions:
- Add some beads to the pipe cleaner (I used about 10 of them on each icicle).
- Wrap the pipe cleaner around something round (see ideas above) that you have on hand to give it the spiral shape as shown.
- Bend the bottom tip in a little to make a tiny hook so the beads don’t fall off (and it doesn’t poke anyone).
- Bend the top into a hook shape.
- Ready to hang!
