Candy Cane Ornament

Difficulty: Easy

Average User Rating:

Parental supervision is recommended

Using tri-beads, you and your kids can create your very own sweet candy canes for hanging on the Christmas tree. These are also great to tie onto gifts or make a festive necklace.

What you'll need:


    This will make 1 candy cane:
  • 12" white chenille stem
  • 18 clear translucent tri-beads (non-translucent beads may be used)
  • 16 red translucent tri-beads (non-translucent beads may be used)
  • Wire cutters

How to make it:

  1. Cut the chenille stem in half.
  2. Put on one clear bead, turn end of chenille stem around the bead. Feed next clear bead on the chenille stem all the way down to cover the sharp end.
  3. Feed the rest of the beads, starting with two red beads, followed by two clear beads, until all the beads are used.
  4. After the last clear bead is added, bend the chenille stem around the bead. Feed the stem back through the second clear bead to cover the sharp end.
  5. Hang and enjoy!
