These DIY beaded snowflake ornaments are such fun Christmas crafts for kids. We’ve been decorating the house, shopping for holiday gifts, and even cutting down our own Christmas tree this year, so it’s safe to say that my family is into the holiday spirit!
Cute DIY snowflake ornaments!
My kids love to get creative with various crafts, so it was only right that we make something that fits the holiday season. We loved decorating the Christmas tree, so I thought it would be fun to make some homemade snowflake ornaments! This easy holiday craft is great for kids, my toddler and my 6-year-old both enjoyed making their own personal ornaments and hanging them on our tree.

DIY Beaded Snowflake Ornaments for Kids
Materials:
Step 1: Create your pipe cleaner snowflake ornaments frame
Choose two pipe cleaners, any colors you like, and cut them in half. Note that the colors you choose will be the colors that show when the ornament is finished!
Make an X with two of the pipe cleaners, then lay the third under the middle of the X, folding the left side to the right, then the right side to the left. Take the last pipe cleaner, place it in the up and down position, and fold it across the middle the same way you did the last one. Try to make each side as even as possible.
Step 2: Make the DIY snowflake ornaments hanger
Next, you’ll need to identify the longest side, this will be the hanger. Thread on about 6 – 8 beads, leaving about an inch at the end of the pipe cleaner. Fold this end into a loop.
Step 3: Thread on the beads
Place the beads onto each of the remaining pipe cleaners, leaving a small piece exposed at the end. Fold each of the ends backwards over the beads.
Straighten out each of the pipe cleaner snowflakes with beads to make sure it’s in snowflake form. Now, hang on a tree and admire!
