There are always new holiday decorations coming out, but sometimes you can't beat the classics. This year, think beyond garland by adorning your home in style with your own DIY wreath.
Winter just wouldn't be the same without a big beautiful Christmas tree covered in ornaments and a beautiful wreath on the door.
Traditionally these beautiful decorations were made from evergreen pines to symbolize strength, but these days you can make practically anything you'd like into a wreath. So why not make one that celebrates all of the sweet minty treats that pop up around this time of year: candy canes!
Candy canes are synonymous with the holidays — you see them in the super market, hanging off of pine bows, and stuffed into holiday stockings. They can also be used to make a festive minty wreath.
And not only are they a yummy minty treat — their shape, along with their cool red and white stripes, makes them an amazing decorating tool.
Check below to learn how to assemble this pretty decoration. You'll want to make one right away and display it proudly.
1. Gather your materials.
- Candy canes
- Spool
- Washi tape
- Snowflake decorations
- Hot glue gun

2. Upcycle a spool holder to use as the base. Apply washi tape.
Trim any excess washi tape, so you can maintain the circular shape.
3. Poke holes into the spool.
4. Insert candy canes.
Continue around the entire spool, making sure they all face the same direction.
5. Hot glue the glittery star onto the spool holder.
6. Hot glue holiday ribbon to the back of the spool. Hang and enjoy!
