Supplies for Pipe Cleaner Sparklers:
Happy crafting!
Supplies for Pipe Cleaner Sparklers:
- 2 red pipe cleaners (aka chenille stems)
- 2 blue pipe cleaners 4 white pipe cleaners – mine are the shiny sparkly white colored kind
- Gather your pipe cleaners and group them with the white together and the blue and red together. (I also made a sparkler that was half the size by cutting my white pipe cleaners in half for a tighter look, see above.)
- Wrap your blue and red pipe cleaners around the center of your white pipe cleaners.
- Bend your white pipe cleaners up and then twist your blue and red pipe cleaners together.
- Give your white pipe cleaners one little twist, then fan them out.
- You can bend them at the tops or leave them straight.
Happy crafting!
