These two ornaments are a fun and easy craft for anyone to do but they are especially great for scout troops or children to do as a craft for the holidays. Both the Christmas wreath ornament and the beaded Candy Cane are very inexpensive Christmas ornaments to make. The Christmas wreath ornament and the Candy Cane beaded ornament are both very durable ornaments that will last throughout the years. You can even change the colors around to suit your own personal tastes and likes for your own unique Candy Cane and Christmas wreath ornaments.

The Christmas wreath ornament can be easily made by children and adults mainly because this craft only requires three items. You will need to purchase the following three items to complete the Christmas wreath ornament: Green Tri beads (also known as propeller beads), red faceted beads and small red pipe cleaners. Once you have gathered those three things then proceed on to Step One.

Step One: First take your red pipe cleaner and lay it out straight on the table or whatever work source you are using.

Step Two: Then you will need to take a red faceted bead and slide it onto your red small pipe cleaner.

Step Three: Now you will need to put 4 of your green tri beads together so they are are nice and stacked. The grooves should all mesh and fit snuggly with the tri bead before and below it.

Step Four: Now you will need to place another red faceted bead on.

Step Five: Repeat the process until you have about a fingertip length left of the red pipe cleaner on each side. You should end it with a red faceted bead on both sides.

Step Six: Now with the leftover red pipe cleaner you will need to make a loop on each side. The loop should resemble, as much as possible, a bow.

Step Seven: Cross the loops together and form the bow. Remember to leave some red pipe cleaner at the end for the bows' tail.
