Holiday Crafts: 3 Ways to Decorate with Candy Canes

1. Candy Cane Wreaths

Supplies:

To make some cute candy cane wreaths you will need:

• Miniature and regular candy canes
• A hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Red, waxed, twine
• Scissors
• Red ribbon

Directions:

The steps to make the wreaths are easy to follow:

1. First unwrap the canes and take two at a time. Connect them so they look like a heart.
2. Use a small amount of hot glue to attach the canes to each other at a couple of points. Make about 10 candy cane hearts this way with the large candy canes and 6 candy cane hearts with the small candy canes.
3. Place the large candy cane hearts on a working surface so they form a wreath. Use some hot glue gun to secure each of the hearts with the heart next to it, on the straight sides of the canes where they touch each other.
4. Make a smaller wreath with the small candy cane hearts. Glue the small wreath onto the larger wreath at its center.
5. When the glue has dried completely wrap the red twine around the points you have glued the candy canes together and make a knot on the back side of the wreaths. Use the ribbon for hanging your wreath. You can spray paint the wreath with some clear sealant to add to its durability.
