Candy Cane Crafts

By Noreen Leave a Comment




Candy Cane crafts are fun to make because you can eat them while you work, as well as make colorful Christmas projects.

Of course, not all candy cane crafts are made with the real, edible thing.

If you want to keep your finished projects from year to year, look for artificial candy canes to craft with – so you don’t have to worry about insects.

There are even a few ideas that young children can make.
