Candy Cane Wreath

This wreath is an ornamentation inspired by our Christmas candy. So simple to make, yet such a nice touch to the special Christmas corner of your house.

You will need:

Candy cane frame

Fuzzy sticks

Red, shiny flowers

You may choose any colors or pattern you wish. For this example, we will be using the candy cane colors. This is the perfect red-and-white candy cane wreath to have by the tree!

The frame can be found at a craft shop or dollar store. 1 / 2

Step 1

Begin to twine the red fuzzy sticks or pipe cleaners onto the candy cane, starting from the end of the frame.

Begin by twining one at the bottom of frame. 1 / 2

Step 2

Weave the red sticks through and around wire bars until you reach the first thin bar.

Continue to weave the sticks through the frame until a section of the cane is red.

Step 3

Begin to weave the white sticks through the wreath until another section is completed. After that white section is complete, begin with the red fuzzy sticks again. Shift back and forth from the red and white colors to create a big candy cane.

Then begin with the white pipe cleaners. 1 / 5

Step 4

Continue this pattern until the entire wreath is covered with red and white fuzzy sticks.

Continue pattern from red to white , and red to white until the cane wreath is complete. 1 / 2

Step 5

Attach some red flowers to the wreath with a spare fuzzy stick. For some optional additional flair, you could add some silver leaves as well, or you could choose a different color pattern other than red and white.

Attach flowers to wreath. I included silver leaves as well. This step is entirely optional! 1 / 2
