No RatingsMaterials
- Candy canes from the Dollar Store
- White and tan velvet fabric from the Dollar Store
- Best 3-in-1 Craft Glue
Tools
- Rotary fabric cutting tool
Instructions
- Spray paint the candy canes white to keep the red from showing through the velvet fabric.
- Cut velvet fabric into ½ inch strips using a rotary tool. You will need 4 of each color, but a few extra just in case.
- Add glue to the end of the candy cane, place the ends of the ribbon side by side on the glue and allow to set.
- Then wrap them around the candy cane together, but one at a time so that the edges overlap nicely.
- When you get to the bottom, cut the ribbons short, add some glue, and tuck them in nicely to create a smooth finish on both ends.
