Candy Cane Wreath Form Ideas: DIY

Now for the part that you have been waiting for…It’s candy cane DIY time! I am so excited to get started on this, you have no idea. Before we get started, take a look at the supply list and order what you don’t have. Once we have all of the things we need, we can get started.

Keep in mind I am keeping this DIY simple that way; you can add as many things as you want to make it your own. I’m basically just creating the foundation for you to build upon. You can go to your local craft store for any additions that you might want!

Supplies

Step One

Are you ready to get your crafting on? I hope so!

To start, you are going to take your yarn and tightly tie it to the bottom of the wreath form. Next, you are going to take your hot glue and line the bottom with it. Carefully begin to wrap your yarn around the wreath form. The hot glue helps it to stay in play while you work up the cane.

Continue to do this, working your way up the wreath form. If you are going to try and make the different stripes, then you will need separate white and red yarn. When you feel you have made the stripe big enough, cut your thread and restart again with the next color. Alternate this until you are done.

Step Two

Now is when you decide how thick you want it. If you don’t want it to be super thick and are fine leaving it with one layer, that is totally fine. Your base is done!

But if you desire a fuller-looking candy cane wreath, then you can begin a second layer starting at the end that you finished on. Try your best to tie your string to the wire form and not the other pieces of yarn. Also, avoid using your hot glue during this time as it tends to make the yarn dried and crunchy looking, which is not very cute.

Step Three

So, your base is done. Can you guess what comes next? That is right; it’s decorating time! This is where you get to use the ideas that you gathered from the ideas above to create your very own candy cane wreath. For the sake of this DIY, I am going to keep it simple and add a bow. But you can add as much as you like.

To add a bow, cut off a one-foot piece of ribbon. You are going to wrap it around the straight part of the candy cane, about a third of the way up. Then you are going to do a simple cross knot like you do when tying your shoes.

Once you have your loose knot, you will make two loops with either side of your ribbon. You will repeat the loose knot process with these. The only difference is that you will do it twice to make a secured knot.

And there you have it, your very own candy cane wreath. How do you like it? It’s so cute!

Why You Should Make A Candy Cane Wreath This Year

I hope you enjoyed this wreath DIY as much as I enjoyed it. If you didn’t make your own, I hope, at the very least, that you were able to find one on this list that you loved. The important part is that you are excited about what you are adding to your home decor!

Christmas is a time to spend with your loved ones, so I would recommend making a night out of this DIY. Have all of your loved ones over, listen to Michael Buble’s Christmas album, make some hot cocoa, and get your craft on.
