Easy to Make Christmas Ornament

Acrylic Beads on Chenille Stems Make Quick and Easy Christmas Ornament

Here’s a (certified by Miss SmArty) kid-friendly craft to get you all through one of the upcoming snow days with smiles on your faces and Christmas Cheer in your heart.

The endless variety of possible options in shape and complexity make this project suitable for kids of all ages.

These ornaments made using large-hole acrylic beads are quick and easy to make.

They can be done in a variety of shapes from simple candy canes and icicles to the bird cage shown above.

This is the first of three variations are provided.

Acrylic Bead Ornament Materials

• 1 Package acrylic multi-colored faceted beads (with holes large enough to string on chenille "pipe cleaner" stems)
• Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue
• Wire cutters
• 1 chenille stem any color

Making the Ornament Variation Three

String 10 small beads to the end of the chenille stem. Place a dab of glue at the end to secure.

String 11 large beads on the other end and then 10 more small beads. Place another dab of glue at this end.

When the glue is completely dry, curve one end to form a small hook. Then wrap the strung beads around a marking pen to form a spiral.

Here are the other variations:

• Ornament Variation One
• Ornament Variation Two
