super holiday craft for classrooms, Sunday school or scout troops!

Metallic shiny pony beads

How To Make:

Simply bead approximately 24 beads to the pipe cleaner, leaving about
2 inches on each end.

Make a circle with the beaded segment and secure by twisting the pipe cleaner once or twice.

Then loop the remaining pipe cleaner segment around a pencil to make the curly design on top.




Variation:
Use two pipe cleaners for each napkin ring. This provides extra
pieces to swirl and add more glitter effect.
