This is one of those DIY crafts that was fun and relaxing to make. I love a craft that can be made without having to “think” to much.

I had these candy cane decorations for years and could never find the right way to display them. I hung on to them thinking someday I will find a use for them. Then all the twine candy canes starting showing up on Pinterest. I had an “aha” moment and knew what I wanted to make. Thanks Kimberly from A Night Owl for the idea and tutorial.

Grab your supplies, find a show to watch and let’s start crafting!

Supplies

The most important thing you need to do is start wrapping the twine around the candy cane at top center curve of your candy candy. To begin glue the twine to the bottom of the candy cane curve.

As you start wrapping make sure to “scrunch the twine together tightly” on the bottom of the curve. If you don’t your twine will bunch up instead of wrapping nice and even.

Wrapped candy canes.

Container and pine clippings.

1. Trim the pine clippings.  2.  Add your holly berries  3.  Arrange twine candy canes. 4.  Tie a multi-piece twine bow around your container. Ta-da, you are done!
