Candy canes also look good when arranged as a garland and add color and mood. You can simply hang the treats loosely or tie them together to form different figures. You can create an attractive garland that impresses with its great texture using small white and red felt pompoms. Glue alternating red and white pompoms to create a candy cane.

For the unconventional Christmas tree you need a Styrofoam cylinder, candy canes, candle holders, glue, a large lollipop and a beautiful gift ribbon. Attach the cylinder to the candle holder and place the sucker on the top of the cylinder. Then glue the candy canes around the cylinder and, if desired, decorate the “branches” with small decorative elements such as stars, beads, etc. For a snowy look, you can cover the cylinder with 3D artificial snow.
