Candy Cane Snowman





For this cute little snowman you will need a 3 x 7 inch glass jar, 15 - 20 candy canes (I used 16), 2 elastic bands, ribbon of your choice, and a snowman Christmas tree ornament (I got this one at the dollar store and it is a Christmas tree ball decorated as a snowman head wrapped with a scarf)


Put the elastics around the jar then start inserting the candy canes in upside down. I wanted some of the jar to show so I didn't put the candy canes all the way around.


To hold the candy canes firmly in place wrap the ribbon around the jar and tie with a bow in front.


The snowman's head was just the right size to push into the jar, no glue required.


The snowman head Christmas tree ornament has jingle bells on it so they are inside the glass.


He's kinda cute don't you think?




This tablescape is such a fun kids table. The tablecloth is wrapping paper, the chargers are a blackboard slate with chalk, the plates are paper plates bought from Pier 1, and the plastic cutlery is put in a red and green stocking sewn from felt and tea towels. The candy cane snowman is set on top of a melted candy tray. The cups are paper and the straws are red and green stripes. The name tags are three little candy canes glued to stand with a name tag placed in the hook.
