Candy Cane Wreath

Use an iconic Christmas favorite in a new way -- decorate a wreath with pretty red- and-white candy canes.

What You'll Need

How to Make It

1. Wrap the wreath form with white satin ribbon.

2. Layer candy canes randomly, hot-gluing them into place.

3. Hot-glue ornaments on top of the candy canes.

4. Fashion a bow from three lengths of red ribbon shaped into progressively smaller loops; hot-glue the overlapping ends of each loop together. Wrap a length of the red-and-white striped ribbon around each loop; hot-glue the overlapping ends of the red-and-white striped ribbon loops together.

5. Stack the ribbon loops, and staple them together in the center. Wrap another piece of red ribbon around all three; hot-glue the overlapping ends together. Repeat with a length of red-and-white striped ribbon.

6. Cut two more lengths of the red ribbon and two more of the red-and-white striped ribbon. Lay a striped ribbon over each red ribbon and hot-glue to the back of the looped ribbons.

7. Adhere the entire bow to the bottom of the wreath with hot glue.

How many candy canes would you say you end up using? Where could I find a spray varnish?

I would think a light coat or two of a spray varnish would prevent stickiness, as well as make it more weather and bug resistent.

It turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for such a great idea! I found some red sheer ribbon w/ red sparkley polka-dots, and wrapped it a few times around the wreath (over the candy canes), tied a knot in the back on top, and made another bow of the same material and hung it from that on the wall. I wish I could include a picture with this comment. It was SO much fun! :)

Do the candy canes not get sticky? I live in the south.
