Christmas Candy Cane Craft
The candy cane is a ubiquitous Christmas symbol. Those red and white stripes and that peppermint or cinnamon flavor is a staple of childhood holiday memories. Generally, a candy cane decorates a Christmas tree simply by hanging on its branches.
One can, however, go wild with holiday fever. By coming up with a Christmas candy cane craft idea, the always present icon will be given a fresh new twist.
The shape and color of these candies, as well as the nature of the holiday season, lends itself well to crafty ideas.
Most ornaments that use decorated and adorned candy canes have a customary way of going about it. Here in a few easy steps is the way to have an unusually crafted ornament this Christmas:
Step 1
You must have a supply of fresh, unbroken candy canes. This is the main component of your holiday craft project
Step 2
Gather sheets of colored paper to decorate the cane with. One can also use ribbons, string, felt, fabric, buttons, beads, and other such items
Step 3
Additional materials you might need are glue, pens, paints and colors
Step 4
Decide on the shape and form of your Christmas candy cane craft holiday ornament. Among the countless possibilities include butterflies, angels, hearts, reindeers, favorite animals, flowers.
Step 5
Cut out the colored paper. Shape it into butterfly wings, angel’s wings, a chosen animal’s body, petals of a flower, anything. Stick the paper on to the cane, or punch a hole in the middle and put the can through your new design.
Step 6
Finish up the work by decorating with other materials. Stick it on with glue to the cane, or draw the eyes and other details on the Christmas candy cane craft with your pen, crayons, or paint. You could also sew on the eyes using buttons or beads, and use felt or fabric instead of paper
The project is now completed. Get ready to hang the work in your tree. Display it in a shelf, a table, on a wall, or in your car for that perfect holiday feeling. Christmas is in the air. The pride of having done something creative for the holidays will be a real treat for you, your family, your children, and friends.
