Instructions
Cut the pipe cleaners: Cut one green pipe cleaner for the center of the tree and several shorter pieces for the branches.
Create the tree branches: Take one short pipe cleaner and wrap it around the center pipe cleaner. Twist it once or twice to secure it in place, leaving the ends sticking out on both sides to form a branch. Repeat with the remaining pieces, spacing them down the center pipe cleaner. Make each branch slightly longer than the one above it to create a Christmas tree shape.
Add the beads: Thread red pony beads onto each branch. Slide the beads along the pipe cleaner, leaving a little space between them if desired.
