These fabric-wrapped candy canes are super easy and fun to make, and you can use up your stash of fabric while you work! Over at Eyeballs by Day, Crafts by Night, Margaret shares all her great ideas for making country and primitive-style crafts with dollar store stuff. These fabric-wrapped candy canes are so much fun, and can be customized to suit any style. If country isn’t your speed, you can easily change the vibe of this project simply by changing up the fabric and the embellishments. Margaret made these candy canes in three sizes: teeny, standard, and ginormous. [how to make fabric wrapped candy canes]
Project Estimate:
- Plastic candy canes, $1
- Strips of scrap fabric, on hand
- Hot glue gun and glue, on hand
- Jute twine, on hand or $1
- Bell, package for $1
Total: $2 and up for many candy canes

How absolutely adorable and affordable. I encourage everyone to check out Margaret’s blog-Eyeballs By Day, Crafts By Night-for many more wonderful and clever ideas. The blog is beautifully designed by the artist herself and chuck full of neat stuff. What a talented young woman!

These are so cute. I absoultely have to have them on my gingerbread tree.
I posted a lot of ideas I had (probally not novel, but the comments are certainly novel length!) about this project to the Eyeballs By Day, Crafts By Night blog: other forms you can use to make these candy canes (upcycling the candy filled ones, foam canes, etc.), materials to use (like use a baby blanket to make the whole family a set of “Baby’s First Christmas Canes”), other alternatives (turn it upside down to make a “Jesus Cane”), and my instructions that don’t involve a glue gun (if you are like me and can’t use one without burning yourself!!!).
I won’t repost them here, but you can check them out there!
