Christmas Candy Cane Centerpiece - {Tutorial}

by Courtney
on Monday, December 12, 2011
Today, I'm going to do a super easy tutorial on how to make a very awesome centerpiece for your table. Actually, it could really go anywhere,... it's just so purdy. Okay let's get started:



What you'll need:
3 Boxes Candy Canes
1 Glass cylindrical vase
Alotta hot glue
Flowers to put in your vase
Red ribbon
1 Spearmint

1. Wipe off your glass vase. (If yours is anything like mine was, it has dust all over it.)

2. Unwrap your candy canes and carefully position the first one on the vase and determine how tall you would like it. I cut about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of most of mine. Make sure you put each candy can up to the glass before you glue it down, to see if it needs to be trimmed. Candy canes are not identical, like I thought they were. Some are shorter than others.


3. Continue to go around the vase, gluing as you go.


4. Wrap a pretty piece of ribbon around the vase and place a spearmint in the very front.

5. To finish it off, place a pretty bouquet of flowers in it and enjoy what you've just created!




I hope you're having a great day!

    This is so cute. The ribbon and the mint finish it off perfectly. I might do it with a little poinsettia in it.

    Great idea and great tip {Candy Canes are like Snowflakes, I guess - each a bit different! Who would have know!?!?}

    Thanks for linking up to my party!

    Courtney! This is adorable! And so is your blog! I found you on TT&J and am enjoying it so much. :) Great, simple, festive idea! And I love your bio...my son and hubby have gone out of here glittered up too. ;) Glitter makes everything better! I would be thrilled if you would share this, along with any others of your projects, at my party!
