How to make Beaded Snowflake Ornaments:
I helped the kids cut silver pipe cleaners into half with a pair of old scissors. Although I’m sure wire cutters would be a better choice. Then The kids twisted all three lengths together at the center. This created the snowflake shape.
Then, the kiddos strung colorful plastic beads onto each side of the snowflake. We found the clear beads had the most sparkle once hung on the tree, although opaque pony beads would work too.
To keep the beads from falling off, we turned over about a 1/2″ of the end of each pipe cleaner.
Add a string or ribbon so you can hang them on your tree. Super easy.
