This is the ornament I did for Slinky last year. I did one for all my friends, using their favorite colors...or colors that fit them, in Slink's case. The materials I used were colored plastic beads, white sparkly pipe cleaners (they have a real name for the craft kind...I just can't remember it), red ribbon, hot glue.
The making of this ornament is simple. Take two pipe cleaners and twist one end together a little. Then, take two beads and put one on each one of the pipe cleaners. Twist the pipe cleaners together a litle bit above the beads, and repeat. You can do any pattern you want with the beads. As you can see, I chose to do two of like colors side by side and to alternate colors each turn.

You know what would be fun? Making numbers out of the pipe cleaner project and creating a count-down until Christmas calendar using them. :D
