A few weeks ago - September to be exact, I was at Family Dollar and saw these candy canes. They were only $1.00 and are pretty big in size. The deco mesh I got at AC Moore for only $2.88 - I used a coupon. And the little bit of green garland you see here was cut from decorations I had left over from last year.
What you'll need:
- Deco mesh
- Candy canes
- Tree garland
- Hot glue gun
- Floral wire
Directions:
- Find the center and mark it with a marker.
- Get your glue gun and glue the two candy canes together in the form of an X. Hold it down for a minute or two.
- To secure the candy canes, grab the floral wire and wrap it around the candy canes to secure the canes in place.
- Next you want to grab the garland and tie it around the candy canes.
- Grab more floral wire to secure the garland in place.
- Grab your deco mesh and make a bow. You could make your bow differently from mine. Get creative with it.
- Grab some more floral wire and just attach the bow.
- You should have a beautiful Christmas decoration for the outside of your home!
I live next to a big river which floods when it rains so my house is on sort of on stilts. You see my house is on the side of a hill and we have an open garage under our home and a storage closet. I placed my Christmas Candy cane decor on the outside of my home. Please disregard my lights, 1 was out so the entire string of lights was not working. I'm still working on it after 62474 hours.
