1) Fold over one end of the
pipe cleaner so the beads won't slip off.
2) Place 2 red beads on
the pipe cleaner then 2 clear beads.
Repeat until all 32 beads are on the pipe
cleaner.
3) Fold up the end of the pipe cleaner so the beads don't slide off.
4) Bend the pipe cleaner into a candy cane shape.
5) At the top of the candy cane, tie on a piece of elastic thread or
string and knot the ends together. This will be used to hang your
ornament.
Candy Cane Ornament - Lacy Version
Materials:
- 5 1/4" White Chenille stem (pipe
cleaner)
- 5" Piece of string or elastic thread
- 16 Red Tri-beads
- 16 Clear or White Tri-beads
- Approx 1 yard ½" wide lace with a row
of holes down the center. Gauge: 4 holes =
2"
you will need 33 holes.
The Lacy Candy Cane is made in the same way as
the simple version with the following
exceptions. After step 1, you slide the first
hole of the lace onto the pipe cleaner. Then,
after the addition of each bead, you put the
pipe cleaner through the next hole in the lace
before adding anymore beads.
This completed Candy Cane Ornament will have a totally different look
than the simple version.
The lace I used alternates larger holes with smaller holes. I
use only the larger holes to thread the pipe cleaner through.
