Step 2

by Katie and Maggie

Insert pipe cleaner into a bead and center it. Begin adding more beads and twisting the pipe cleaner to keep them in place. You may want to keep your design symmetrical in shape or color for a more traditional look.
Step 3

by Ben

You can break from tradition and make what could be called a wiggle worm ornament, or a contemporary peice. The description really depends upon your age and status.
Step 4

Add jingle bells for a sparkly audible touch. These ornaments work great on packages instead of bows.
They also look great hanging on a gifted wine bottle.
A table full of these materials at a party gives people a fun way to congregate, no matter what age. Enjoy!
