Then attach a decorative ribbon around the outside. 

Place beads along each of the pipe cleaners. This is a great fine motor skill-building activity for your little ones.

Take and pinch together all of the pipe cleaners at the top of your tree. Give them a good twist. 

You can stop here if you plan to place them out for decoration. Or add on a clear string for hanging them on the tree. 

Make sure to flip the switch and watch the light shine through the beads.These tea light ornaments are fun for kids to make and look amazing.
