Sometimes you see something and just know what to do with them. That's what happened when I saw these Dollar Tree plastic candy canes. With Christmas coming there are people you'd like to give a little something to, but money is tight. The lady at the drug store who is always so nice to you, your postal worker, neighbor, your veterinarian, who ever it is ~ a little remember gift. How about making an ornament for them?
Dollar Tree plastic Candy Canes help out with quick, easy and inexpensive gift giving.
I ran into these plastic Candy Canes at Dollar Tree and my mind went to prim. Why is goes to primitive ornaments on certain things this time of year is beyond me.
I hot glued one end of fabric to the end of the candy cane
and began wrapping is round and round until it was completely covered, being sure to keep the fabric taut.
When reaching the end, hot glue into place toward bottom.
Trim off the excess fabric leaving enough to fold over to finish off the end with a dab of hot glue.
I bundled a few together, tied with jute, then un-twisted the jute and made a bow.
Added a rusty jingle bell with a rusty safety pin and there you have it.
Enjoyed the project?
