Usually on Thursday I post a recipe. Today I'm mixing it up and posting the directions to make these sweet Candy Cane Reindeer. They're a perfect place card holder at a party, incorporate beautifully into the ribbon wrapping a package, or just hanging out as these guys are!
They are featured in "Dying for Holiday Tea," one of the novellas in the anthology in Happy Homicides: Thirteen Cozy Holiday Mysteries.
Candy Cane Reindeer
Makes 1
1 Candy Cane, wrapped
1 Brown pipe cleaner
2 eyes, size (or proportional to candy cane)
1 Pompom nose, brown or red
Glue (I use Tacky Glue)
Holding the candy cane, wrap the pipe cleaner around the curve and twist. Bend the long ends to make antlers.
Put a dab of glue on the front of the short end of the candy cane to make a nose. Put two smaller dabs of glue above the nose, for the eyes.
Lay the candy cane down until the glue dries.
This is one of the crafts included in the free bonus pdf file of recipes and crafts for Happy Homicides: Thirteen Cozy Holiday Mysteries. My novella, "Dying for Holiday Tea," is included in this anthology written by thirteen authors.Labels: Candy Cane Reindeer, Happy Homicides
