I wanted to do something for each of the kids I work with and the students in the first grade class for the holidays, and when I saw Ashley Bowen's Candy Cane Cover, I knew it was just what I was looking for ... something easy to mass assemble and affordable.
These are so easy! I just cut a piece of Real Red CS 2" x 3", rounded the corners with a Corner Rounder, and used the Slit Punch for the holes that the candy cane slides through. I used the stamp set Merry & Bright by stamping it in Jet Black Staz-On, and colored with Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers. I added sparkle to the snowman's hat with Diamond Stickles. The snowman image was punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, and adhered to a Real Red 1 3/8" Circle Punch, then Old Olive Scallop Circle Punch. Each scallop was pierced with a Paper Piercer. I used Glue Dots to adhere the scallop to the Real Red CS.
