Pipe Cleaner Fireworks Ring

If you think back to your childhood, you probably remember making rings out of anything you could find that would twist around a finger. I’ve made them from gum wrappers, paper clips, and of course, any soda can pop-top. Let’s just say, my choices weren’t always as safe or as cute as this one.

This pipe cleaner craft is a perfect way to satisfy kids’ desire to have a ring on their finger while also creating a fun decoration or accent to a costume. It’s ideal for New Year’s Eve parties or 4th of July parties where fireworks are bursting in the air. So much sparkle and beauty from a simple item are hard to beat!

Can Kids Make These Rings?

Yes! That is the best part of this project – it’s ideal for making with kids. Since you only need the pipe cleaners and scissors, you don’t have to worry about a ton of supplies or even safety issues. Pipe cleaners are usually covered well enough that the ends aren’t sharp or dangerous. So, it’s a great choice for using with kids.

If making these pipe cleaner rings with your kids, I recommend setting up a table for them to work at. You can add a variety of pipe cleaners in sparkly colors to each place setting. Add kids safety scissors and then offer a bowl by each plate including large beads or rhinestones that can be added if they want. In this case, I like the larger pony beads for kids to easily thread onto the pipe cleaners.

What Else Can I Add to Make These More Fun?

As mentioned above, you can add different items to the rings to dress them up. Below are some ideas I think would look great on a pipe cleaner ring, especially one that is supposed to look like fireworks.

  • Pony beads in different colors threaded over the individual pipe cleaner pieces.
  • Rhinestones glued onto the top of the pipe cleaner pieces.
  • A larger rhinestone or bead in the center of the ring where the pipe cleaner pieces are wound around the ring.
  • Sequins glued onto the individual pieces of pipe cleaner

When Can These Be Worn?

These are perfect for New Year’s Eve parties and 4th of July parties. Of course, with kids, a ring like this can be worn at any time. I love the idea of adding these to a birthday party, dress-up box, or just for a regular play time with kids. You can even use them to help with hand and eye coordination with kids in preschool and lower grades. Basically, the pipe cleaner ring is ideal for any celebration kids enjoy.
