"In this clip, I'm going to teach you how to make a Candy Cane Christmas Tree Ornament. For this demonstration, we will need a few items. Some pipe cleaners, Christmas colors would be really good. Some wire, it's not needed. I will explain a little bit later. Some Christmas bells, preferably smaller. You can get a little bit bigger than these ones, if you'd like, some more candy cane, and your hot glue gun. First, you're going to stick the candy canes like so, and glue them together. For the sake of this demonstration, we have already done that. You're then going to take pipe cleaners, three of them, two of them. If you want to do just one, it doesn't matter. You're going to wrap them around. Then, you are going to take any small or round object. If you have an extra candy cane, you can use this one, and wrap the sections of the pipe cleaner, around the candy cane. Pull the candy cane out, so you have some little squigglies, and do it for all six of them, or if you just use one pipe cleaner for both sections. Once you have completed tying the pipe cleaners around an object, making it squiggly, you're going to take two bells and the hot glue gun. Glue the middle section of the pipe cleaners. Place the bells in the middle, like so, and then you can either take a piece of wire, and wrap it around the back of the ornament, like so, in order to hang it on a Christmas tree, or you can just take the edge of the candy cane, and stick it on a Christmas tree, and there you have your Candy Cane Christmas Ornament."
