Step 3 |
Twist the ends of two glitter pipe cleaners together to make one long stem. Repeat with two more glitter pipe cleaners so you have two long stems. Now, crisscross the middle and twist together so you have a large “+” shape. |

Twist one of the glitter pipe cleaners around a pencil, then slide out the pencil to reveal a coiled glitter pipe cleaner. Repeat for the remaining three in your “+” shape to make your Christmas tree. |
Step 5 |
Loosen the coils a little and slide on pony bead “ornaments”. Set aside. |
