How to make easy beaded pipecleaner heart ornaments of your own:
Gather Your Materials:
For this beaded heart ornament craft, you will need:
– Pipecleaners
– Pony Beads (or similar)
Beading the Pipecleaner:
To begin, add some beads from one end of the pipecleaner until you reach the mid-point. You may want to experiment with different patterns of beads to see what looks best.
I found it easier to leave a some space in-between each bead and let the pipecleaner show a bit. Leave a bit of space at the ends of the pipecleaner too.
Repeat the Pattern
Once one side of the pipecleaner has been beaded, repeat the same pattern of beads onto the other end of the pipecleaner.
Twist the Ends
Once the pipecleaner has been beaded, twist the ends of the pipecleaner together.
Bend into Heart Shape
Bend the twisted ends to form the bottom point of the heart. Next, reach directly across to the mid-point of the pipecleaner and bend it down to form a “V” at the top of the heart.
