Instructions:
Cut pieces of the wire to the length you want.
6 1/2 in. lengths work well with three strands
twisted. If you want larger candy canes, then
plan on twisting more strands together.

Make a loop on one end of the wire. Start
threading the beads on. When the wire is full,
make another loop to hold the beads on.

When you have three strands (for the 6 1/2
inch) join the three strands together at one
end, then start twisting. Join the wires at the
final end. Tuck any exposed wire into the
beads to hide. Bend to a candy cane shape.
That's all there is to it.
These make Nice Tree Oranaments
