I have some old walking canes that are made of wood, any ideas crafts.

If they are unusual - Sell them as there are Collectors out there, like me!

Use 2 to frame a long narrow mirror. - Use to stake Plants. - Stick them around a tall Planter or as Umbrella Stand. Cut off the hook ends and fit to a piece of wood to make Coat/Tool hooks. - Use Cut off pieces as Table mats etc....

If the canes are artistic and good quality they can be displayed in a tall skinny vase or umbrella holder.

i like the idea of just casually hanging them on a hall tree or put in the bottom circle of it.

Maybe it’s just me but I see canes as a sign of disability or old age. Not a festive Christmas feel.

This is pretty but may not be your style!

Spray paint them in white paint and use red or green tape to make candy cane design, adhering the tape on the cane in a diagonal direction. Tie on a big bow with some holiday greenery and hang on the front door. Or use them to decorate the stair newel post with greenery and a bow. Here's a cute one. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/77/a4/65/77a46565b0ed9aa3af6a7e666495bddf--candy-cane-christmas-christmas-swags.jpg

I took one of my grandfathers old wood ones and I tied a pretty Christmas bow on it and some large silver bells, then it stands in the corner like Santa forgot it when he left

I sprained my ankle a few years ago and had to get a cane. I hated the way it looked and decoupaged it . Added a note of cheer for me. Any design will work and even some design paper . Bea

Perhaps you have a smaller kitchen or bathroom window that you could hang curtains from the cane on. You could paint the canes or leave them natural wood depending on your decor. I would leave the curved part attached as I am sure you can find something to hang from it to accessorize whatever room you use.

If push comes to shove, donate them to a place (nursing home) that has a Physical Therapy department. They can outfit them with the proper tips and an Ice attachment (I live in Maine) to give to their patients.

Hang a banner from one.

Why not donate them at the Senior Center
