Candy cane candle holder
I seem to be reminiscing about my primary school days a lot lately. Another fond memory I have is of giving and receiving candy canes at Christmas time. There were all sorts of colours and flavours around but to me you can’t go past the traditional red and white striped peppermint candy cane. It’s oh-so festive and it turns out there are a million and one ways you can incorporate them in your Christmas celebrations. I did a bit of pinning recently and would like to share what I found. I also made a few candy cane creations of my own starting with the candle holder above.
To make it, wrap a rubber band around a candle and insert the candy canes around the candle under the rubber band. Tie a piece of ribbon around them and then remove the rubber band.

I do love candy canes. They pretty much go with everything
Love the hanging decorations. Perfect for edible tree hangers 
I like the idea of being able to eat the decorations too!
OMG there are so many cute ideas! And we ALWAYS have a surplus of candy canes-we just can’t eat them fast enough!
There are so many others out there too!
Very cute candy cane decorations! I love it!
Thanks!
Those chocolate dipped candy canes are a great idea. Candy Canes aren’t so much of a tradition here but they are so pretty and you’ve made them into great decorations. I’ll have to go and buy some canes. GG
They’re everywhere here. Good luck with your creations!
How awesome everything looks! The North Pole cupcakes and the cake both look wonderful. I’m going to share the candy cane place card holder idea with my mother-in-law – - she loves to have her table look festive and fun!
I think you could make an easier version of them too. Just tying 3 together would stand up I think and save the melting and sticking.
