Candy Cane Christmas Tree Decorations
Christmas is a time to celebrate with family, friends and loved ones. There are so many ways to decorate your home for the holidays, but candy canes are some of my favorites! They’re not just for eating—they can also be used as decorations on your tree or even made into tasty treats like gumdrops or gummies. Here are a few tips and tricks for putting together unique Christmas trees using candy canes.
1. Use a candy cane to create a garland for your tree by stringing different colors together with ribbon.

- If you want to make several candy canes at once, use an icing bag and nozzle to create a more uniform look in the end product by filling each tube with icing and then squeezing out the top of each one until it’s filled up halfway.
2. Create this easy Christmas tree craft by painting the tips of five candy canes white, and gluing them onto green construction paper to form a tree shape.
- Paint the tips of five candy canes white, and glue them onto green construction paper to form a tree shape. Make sure that the candy canes are dry before gluing them to the paper!
- Use white glue to glue the candies to the paper. If you don’t have any white paint on hand, you can use a toothpick dipped in water and paint over each tip until it’s fully covered (this may take several layers).
- When all of your candy canes are dry, use some scissors or an exacto knife (if you’re feeling brave) to cut off any excess from around each tip so it doesn’t show up when you set up your display later on in step 4 – this will give it a cleaner look when displayed on its own later on!”
The most important thing to remember when decorating with candy canes is that they should be the same length and size. You can use a ruler or measuring tape to make sure your candy canes are all equally sized, but if you’re going for a more natural look it’s fine for them to be different lengthsUse decorative paper to create garlands for your tree. Use ribbons, bows and other decorations to add additional festive flair..

Then add some decorative touches like glitter or sequins with glue or double sided tape (if needed).
Once your tree is ready to go, simply take your brush and start painting it white! Then let it dry overnight before placing onto your windowsill or wherever else you have room to display it during the holidays!
