Nila loves making gifts, all year round, if I’m being honest, but for us, nothing says Christmas quite like her creating little handmade presents for her friends. There is something so special about children taking the time to make something themselves, especially during the festive season.
These pipe cleaner bracelets are an idea Nila came up with quite a few years ago, and they have become a bit of a Christmas tradition in our house. This year, we gave them a festive update by adding some beautiful Christmas charms from Baker Ross, and the result was the most gorgeous little Christmas bracelets for her best friends.
They are simple, affordable, and perfect for a fun Christmas craft afternoon at home.
What You Need to Make Festive Pipe Cleaner Bracelets
To make these easy Christmas bracelets for kids, you will need:
Red, white, and green pipe cleaners
Festive-coloured beads
Christmas charms
How to Make Pipe Cleaner Christmas Bracelets
Start by threading your beads onto the pipe cleaner. They glide on really easily, which makes this a great craft for little ones who can get frustrated with traditional threading.Just bear in mind there are small parts, so always supervise younger children.
Once you are about halfway along, thread on a Christmas charm.Continue adding beads until the bracelet is the right size.Twist the pipe cleaner ends around each other to secure the bracelet in place.
And just like that, you’ll have the most beautiful festive bracelet, ready to gift.
We also shared a step-by-step reel over on TikTok, watch our festive pipe cleaner bracelet tutorial on TikTok showing exactly how to make these festive pipe cleaner bracelets.
