What You Will Need
- Buttons you can find packs of red and white at Buttons Galore and More
- Floral wire
- Pliers
- Scissors with a wire cutter or Wire Cutter
Instructions
- Cut your floral wire to the desired length of your candy cane. Start on one end of your floral wire and bend it over with your pliers to create the "hook" of the candy cane.
- Next start adding on buttons from the opposite end. Two red then two white right through the holes in the buttons. Keep them all about the same size.
- When you have your candy cane about full, bend the wire by hand while holding the buttons in place with your other hand. When you bend the wire the buttons will move slightly so you want to do this before you finish off your candy cane.
- Once your candy cane looks full enough for you, hold the buttons really tight and bend over your wire and cut off any excess.
- Turn the raw edge under to hold everything in place.
