DIY Rustic Candy Canes

I have always loved the look of rustic and primitive decorations, especially around Christmas.  Whenever I visit craft fairs I am attracted to the vendors with distressed, wooden, old school displays and goods.  So when the boys and I started creating ornaments for the few Craft Fairs that we are in this winter I knew that I wanted to add a colourful, primitive element and these Rustic Candy Canes fit the bill.

These are created simply by wrapping fabric around a plastic, dollar store candy cane and affixing it with hot glue.

Maggie from Eyeballs by Day, Crafts by Night has a great tutorial on how to make these if you would like to check it out.  We sold them in bundles of three for $5.

We made a few giant rustic candy canes as well and sold out.
