You can add something unique to your Christmas décor if you think of different themes each year. This year, why not make a Candy cane theme? The fun red and white colors are sure to evoke joy in anyone who sees them.

If you are thinking of going Candy Cane this Christmas, here are some ways to make it work.

Hanging Candy Canes

Try hanging candy canes in room in your house. They will look terrific hanging along a wall from the tops of your ceilings or draping from the eaves of your roof.

Get large candy canes and tie them with a festive red and white ribbon. You can put a string through the top to create a garland effect. Use at least five candy canes to ensure the style seems intentional.

Candy Cane Wreath

Make sure your guests are prepared for your candy cane theme before they enter the home by putting a candy cane wreath on your door. The wreath can be red and white striped, or you can use an evergreen wreath with candy canes added as a garnish.

Make Candy Cane Decorations

You can also use actual candy canes to DIY decorations. For example, if you put two candy canes together facing each other, it will make a heart shape. Continue the theme by putting your hearts back-to-back to form a circle. Then put a sign saying Merry Christmas in the center.

The result will be a wreath-like shape that can be hung on doors or any wall of the house.

Decorate Your Tree with Candy Canes

Candy canes’ hook-like design make them an easy and cheap Christmas tree decoration. To really bring out the theme, add other red and white ornaments to your tree. These will look especially good if the tree is white.

Get a Candy Cane Aroma

You will really drive the candy cane theme home if you burn a candy cane scent in your home. Fortunately, there are plenty of peppermint scented candles and potpourris that will do the trick.

Candy Cane Stocking Holders

If you are looking for a way to hang your stockings, candy canes are the ultimate solution. The hooks can be hung off your mantle while the bottom holds the stocking. Of course, you won’t be able to use actual candy canes. Fortunately, there are items in the store that can be purchased for these purposes.

Candy canes make a great holiday decorating theme. Now that you have the inspiration, you just need to go out and make it happen. What theme will you be using for your décor this year?
