How to Make

Step 1

Take a pipe cleaner and hold it horizontally. Then, take another pipe cleaner and zigzag it across, leaving about 5 cm between each peak. Continue until the horizontal pipe cleaner is filled.

Finally, thread some string through the hole at the top, adding beads along the string. For a more structured look, use a little glue on the string to keep the beads separated.
