Pipe cleaner ornaments
Pipe cleaners (also called chenille stems) are one of the fastest ornament crafts there is — bendable, forgiving, and cheap enough that mistakes cost nothing.
How to make one
- Twist two or three pipe cleaners together at the center for extra body.
- Bend into a simple shape — a star, a snowflake, a wreath, or a candy cane hook.
- Thread on a few small beads before shaping, if you'd like some sparkle.
- Bend a small loop at the top and hang with ribbon or thread.
A great one for younger kids — there's no wrong shape, and a finished ornament takes only a few minutes.
