Candy Cane ornaments made with perler beads!


Photo from Thirty Handmade Days
By now the kids have been out of school for several weeks.  They just might be looking for a project to do on a rainy day, or on a day when it's just too hot to play outside.  Why not give this idea a try: Perler Bead Candy Cane Ornaments

These fun and easy ornaments are from Mique at Thirty Handmade Days.  They are made with a heart template that you only use part of, to create the candy cane.  No ornament hook is needed either, since the crook of the candy cane fits right over a branch.

My grandkids love perler beads, and I'm sure they're going to want to give these a try.  Hope the kids in your life enjoy this idea as well!

    1. I know just what you mean. I used to have some too. I wonder if I still have them. The newer beads seem to work better than the ones kids used in the 1990s.

  5. This is a cute idea. We have some beaded candy canes on our tree although one of Sophia's fell victim to the new puppy last year. Thank goodness she was able to retrieve it below any beads were swallowed!
