Candy Cane Candle

So today I'm gonna be showing you a cute little holiday craft that's super simple to make and will add a festive touch wherever you put it! It's a Candy Cane Candle!

All you need are some candy canes...any color or flavor, a candle that matches your candy canes, and a hot glue gun.

Next...take all the plastic off your candy canes, and start gluing the candy canes to your candle with the hook part facing out!

 Voila! Like I said, super simple and totally festive! Plus, when you burn your candle it will smell a tad like peppermint...if you got an unscented candle and peppermint candy canes, of course.

Okay, be sure to visit the next blog in the hop...Baby's Indulgence
