4 Strand Pipe Cleaner Bracelets
I absolutely love simple crafts! These 4 strand pipe cleaner bracelets are so pretty, and they are way easier to make than they look. Best of all, you can make one using two common craft supplies: pipe cleaners and beads. You can assemble these bracelets in 10 minutes or less, and the bead work is great for developing hand-eye coordination. Why not improve fine motor skills and have a beautiful bracelet at the end of it? I really like the two-tone look of these bracelets, but you could easily make them all one colour, or even use random bead colours.

What size beads fit onto pipe cleaner bracelets?
A pony bead is the best type of bead for this project because they have a nice big opening. However, you can use any bead that is wide enough to fit over two pipe cleaners. The beads we used are 8 mm wide on the outside, with an opening of 4 mm.
What if I don’t have beads?
You can definitely try making a bracelet without beads. Try twisting the pipe cleaners together twice every time the instructions ask for a bead. You could also make your own beads by cutting a drinking straw into small bead-like sections. Then simply slide the straw “beads” over the pipe cleaners.
Where can I get the supplies?
What other crafts can I make with pipe cleaners and beads?
There are so many fun and easy crafts you can make with pipe cleaners and beads! For holiday themed fun try making a Shamrock, Pumpkin, or Snowflake. If you’re feeling more summery, check out the Dragonflies, Butterflies, or Flowers.
We had so much fun making these pipe cleaner bracelets! I love that you can try all kinds of colour variations since they come together so quickly. Try making red and green bracelets for Christmas, or orange and black for Halloween. The colours are so customizable!
