OK, now that that's over lets get back to the point.
Last year I started my big plans early and pulled off a pretty Peacock themed Christmas. But this year with all the wedding planning and such, Christmas planning kinda got put on the back burner till now.
But, I'm feeling that Christmas spirit now and started putting together my DIY list. Candy canes kept coming up again and again so I thought I'd share with you some fun DIY ideas involving that famous Christmas candy.
These are obvi sprinkles, but I think I'll make some of these with crushed up candy canes instead. Whats not to love about pretzels, chocolate and candy canes?
No holiday is complete without a cocktail...or two
More chocolate and the perfect hostess gift or holiday party snack
Such a cute idea! I need to try this asap
I can't just stop at Candy Canes, so over the next few weeks I'll post more of my favorite Christmas DIY ideas.
Have any fun ones I should know about? Leave me a comment or email me, I'm always up for a new Christmas craft!
Happy Weekend Everyone!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear someone else is as excited about the upcoming xmas season as I am! I love all of your ideas! I just went to ACMoore and bought clear glass ornaments, acrylic paint, ribbon, etc and I'm hoping to make some fun ornaments to give to friends, family and co-workers as gifts. I have not tried this before so I'm wondering if you have any tips for me? Something tells me you'd be better at this project than me! :)

ReplyDeleteSo funny- you are the first person to tell me how many shopping days left til Christmas! I hadn't thought of that yet! :)

ReplyDeleteWow! I'm getting in the mood for Christmas 2012 by looking at your great ideas for decorating!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Does the candy cane candle get sticky and melt? Did you have to put it in a bowl or how did you fix it so the candy wouldn't melt?
