The first week of December is when most people begin to put up their decorations. As I started to put mine up today, I looked at the candy cane ornaments I had. I usually just hang them up on my tree, but this year I realized that there are so many other ways in which candy canes can be used to decorate.
The candy canes are a favorite among kids but using them as decoration is not very common. Not many people would think of using them to decorate. But the pretty red and white colors of the candy cane definitely match the Christmas theme. So, I’ve got a list of ways in which candy canes can be used as décor around the house!
Candy Cane Décor for Christmas
I am sure these Candy Cane Decor Ideas will Make Your Christmas the Most Blissful Christmas you've ever had.
Candy Cane Christmas Wreath
For Christmas, most people put up a wreath on their front door. Wreaths are made up of evergreens which signifies everlasting life. Mini candy canes can be stuck or hung on the wreath before it is put up. Image - Trendy and Wild
Putting Up a Candy Cane Christmas Garland
A few candy canes can be strung together using a rope or string and this can be hung up on a wall or around the Christmas tree. It’s a simple decoration, but a cute one!
Candy Cane Hangings
Wall and door hangings are quite popular nowadays. People tend to hang the decorations up so that they save on floor space. If you’ve got toddlers at home, it prevents them from bumping into and pulling down décor. There are many wall hangings that can be made at home, like wreaths and garlands. Also, candy cane decals can be stuck to the wall. They do not damage the wall and can easily be pulled off once Christmas is over.
Wrap your Gifts with Candy Canes
If you’re one of those people that likes to keep the gifts under the tree a while before Christmas, along with bows and ribbons, you can also stick mini candy canes to the gift wrapping. If you’ve got kids, they’ll love this, though they might be tempted to open the gifts way before Christmas.
Deck Up your Christmas Tree with Candy Cane
Besides baubles, you get candy cane ornaments that are made specially to hang on the tree. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got a big or small Christmas tree because candy canes come in all sizes too! If you’ve got a small tree, mini candy canes can be put upon them. Or for a medium-sized tree, small ones can be used for the top of the tree and larger ones for the bottom. Also, you can make a candy cane star for the top of the tree.
Candy Canes Cushion covers
Cushion covers with candy cane designs on them can be used during the Christmas season. They are super cute and would look really good if you place them on a crème, beige or red sofa.
Candy themed Dining Table
For your dining table, you could use a table cloth or table runner with candy canes or red and white stripes. You could also keep plates with a candy cane print or desert and cups with red and white stripes.
Make a Cute and Colorful Candy corner
If you have a big kitchen with a lot of space, you can have a ‘Candy Corner’. This could include glass jars- each filled with candy canes, gumdrops, peppermint candies, m&m’s, lollipops, and candy bars. It looks decorative and can be eaten!
Life-sized Candy Canes
Inflatable candy cane balloons can be put up in the house and for a garden, you get special candy cane décor, like - candy cane pathway markers that light up for a driveway, life-sized candy canes that glow in the dark, and also mini candy canes that can be stuck on bushes and shrubs around the garden.
Candy cane Christmas Centerpieces
Candy cane figurines can be used as centerpieces on a table. DIY candy cane décor can also be placed on the dining table or on a side table. It can also be kept on a bookshelf, TV table, or a sideboard.
Candles
Red and white striped candles can be placed along with flowers on a table.
Stocking
Stockings with pictures of candy canes’ or candy cane prints can be hung up near the Christmas tree.
Who says candy canes are just for eating? Using candy canes to decorate the house in these ways would look very festive. And if you’ve got kids or kids coming over for Christmas, they will love the candy-themed décor! Though candy canes aren’t generally used to decorate, using them is harmless and no one’s stopping you. They can be used in so many ways, whether you buy them or prefer to DIY at home.
