One of the highlights of our vacation flavor each twelvemonth is creating homemade ornaments together amongst our kids, together with this twelvemonth we’re making sparkly candy cane spool ornaments.

My boy made a candy cane spool decoration a few years agone at preschool together with I honey it, thence nosotros are making several to add together to our decoration collection this year.

K H5N1 T east R I H5N1 L S north east E D east D:

glitter (red together with silver), or purpose glitter mucilage (my favorite)
paint (red together with white)
paintbrush
2 white piping cleaners
jingle bell
white glue
red bead
wooden spools

D I R east C T I O north S:

Start off past times epitome 3 spools white together with 3 spools red. Then allow the spools dry.

Once dry, pose the spools within a cardboard box (or on overstep of newspaper) together with embrace the spools amongst white mucilage together with glitter! Put silveR glitter on the white spools together with cerise glitter on the cerise spools. Let the spools dry out together with and then milkshake off the excess glitter.

Add a bead to a piping cleaner together with curvature the terminate of the piping cleaner to secure the bead inwards place. Then curvature the other side of the piping cleaner into a candy cane shape. Next thread the spools onto the piping cleaner rotating colors (white, red, white, red…).

Thread a jingle bell through the piping cleaner at the terminate of the candy cane together with curvature the piping cleaner approximately the jingle bell claw to secure the jingle bell inwards place.

Cut some other piping cleaner together with accept a small-scale slice of it together with curvature it approximately the overstep of the candy cane to exercise a decoration claw that tin live used to hang the decoration on the Christmas tree branch.

It is super tardily to brand a bunch of these at 1 fourth dimension amongst your kids if you lot stimulate got them pigment spools inwards big batches. Threading spools through piping cleaners is a non bad fine motor skills action for kids equally well.

I can’t await to hang our novel candy cane spool ornaments on our Christmas tree this year!
