Adorn your tree or gifts this year by making this super cute little beaded candy cane craft! Just two materials and you can make this in minutes! This craft can be used for so many things. Add some to a tree or use for a handmade gift topper with a lovely bow! This is a great activity for a holiday themed crafter noon and simple enough for a fun class activity too!
Materials:
- One 12 inch pipe cleaner (I used a glittery silver pipe cleaner, but any pipe cleaner you have will do!)
- Pony beads (I used classic red and white, but try different beads for lots of different looks too!
Sizing:
- About 4 inches tall.

- Experiment with different beads for a variety of looks! You can try metallics, alphabet beads, or even a cool glow in the dark option too!
Instructions for the Beaded Candy Cane Craft:
- Fold pipe cleaner in half (this will give it a little more stability and strength for hanging).
- Add beads to pipe cleaner (try different colors and you can mix up the patterning of the beads too)
- Leave a little bit of pipe cleaner showing at either end.
- Bend ends of pipe cleaner a bit at the ends to keep beads from falling off.
- Shape into a candy cane shape.
- Done! Hand on a tree, use as a gift topper, or make this a fun holiday themed craft activity or even a class activity too!
