Candy Cane Christmas Tree DIY

As I was shopping for my craft supplies last weekend I spotted a Candy Cane Christmas tree on one of their shelves. I simply fell in love. It was a bit pricey so I only took a picture. My plan was to make my own but budget friendly Christmas DIY. I know I could do it. My plan was to make even a bigger one that they offered. Here is a picture that I took at the store. Don’t you just want to lick it …ha ha ha . Let’s get some ribbon so we can start our Christmas craft! I hope it will be also kids friendly Christmas craft

Items you need to make Ribbon Candy Cane Christmas Tree craft

• cone (I used paper cone I had)
• ribbon 1.5 inch thick
• hot glue gun and glue sticks

---

Choosing a right ribbon wasn’t easy … have to admit that … because they have so much to choose from! All I wanted was 1.5 inch wide ribbon fairly thick with candy cane stripes on it.

---

---

As you can see ribbon i chose isn’t that typical candy cane pattern but I was determined to make it work simply because it was only $3 a spooll!

---

Let’s begin making our Candy Cane Ribbon Christmas craft

---

• Prepare your ribbon. Loop your ribbon ( each loop around 3 inches) for a quick assembly later as it shown on the picture below

---

---

• cut your loop only on one side only. You will end up with around 6 inch long strips

---

• fold your each strip into tear like shape as it is shown below

---

• Glue your first row of looped ribbon lower then your loop height is. I like mine to spread on the surface when Candy Cane Christmas tree is finished .

---

---

Notice how bottom row of our ribbon loops are spreading wide.

---

---

• second row of ribbon as you can see is installed staggered slightly covering row below

---

---

Don’t worry each loop will beautifully hide each row below. You cans see that closer below

---

---

It really didn’t take long to make that tree. Maybe 15 min all together with all that strips cutting.

---

Ta- Daa!!!!! It is done! I am so pleased with the way it turned out! Perfect budget friendly Christmas DIY What do you think? Does it look close to a original from Michaels?

---

I don’t know which version I like better WITH or WITHOUT a topper? Which one is your favorite?
