Handmade bead hear decoration gift craft for kids

These sweet little beaded heart decorations are so simple and easy to make and don’t they just look adorable? It’s more important now than ever to show a little love to special people in our lives and my kids have made some of these to give to their great grandparents who they haven’t really seen much this year. Its not the same as a little cuddle but sometimes all it takes is a little gesture to brighten someone’s day!

Heres what we used

  • Pipe cleaner
  • Beads
  • Ribbon
  • Scissors

How to make these beaded heart decorations

Take a pipe cleaner and pinch it into a point at the centre. Curve the two loose ends inwards in a basic heart shape and thread your beads onto the pipecleaner leaving a 1-2cm gap on each end.

Once you’re happy with your decoration, twist the two ends together and then tuck them up inside the pony beads.

Thread a peice of ribbon through the bead which sits at the inside point of your heart and tie the ends together to make a loop. Bend your heart back into shape if necessary and its ready to gift to a love one!
