Make your own pony-bead corn on the cob
This pretty craft is easy to make and looks great as part of an autumn display.
YOU WILL NEED
Four green pipe cleaners, approx 30cm long Pony beads in autumnal colours (about 120 will be enough for this craft)
METHOD
1. Gather up your pipe cleaners and make sure that all the ends are lined up.
2. Twist the bunch in the centre and fan the pipe cleaners out to make a star shape.
3. Thread pony beads on each arm, making sure you have an even spread of colours (see picture, left).
4. When you have finished threading the beads on, curve each arm very slightly towards the middle to give the finished corn cob a rounded shape.
5. Bend the arms up to meet at the top and twist to fasten.
