The minute I found this idea and tutorial here, I knew that this would be the primary craft I would concentrate on during the 2014 Christmas season.

I have since made these little works of art with friends and with family, with young and with old.  In one way or another, 100% of them have said, “Oh, this is so much fun!” And 100% have been delighted with the results.

Candy Canes DollarTree

First, I bought plastic candy canes at Dollar Tree. {Can’t argue with six candy canes for a dollar.}

Then, following the tutorial, I used homespun fabric to wrap the canes and added a cardstock star that I cut out of a Joy to the World sheet-music printable .

For others, I used brighter Christmas fabrics and added these JOY Tags.

It’s fun to continue finding uses for the wrapped canes. Along with greenery, they can add a festive touch to a wrapped gift.

My niece Deb used her candy canes as the finishing touch on her window display. Isn’t it lovely?

So there you have it: Joy to the World! The Lord has come!
