Today I’m sharing some sweet Christmas candy creations for your decor. I normally get candy that I decorate with from the dollar store. It’s cheap and most of the time made in China (which makes it less appetizing to me so I’m not tempted to snack on it).

Some of these would be a fun activity to do with the kids but I would get candy you feel comfortable having them eat (because you know they will 🙂 )!
- Tasty Traditions. Whether you are creating with family or friends, start a new tradition of creative candy decorations to repeat year after year.
- Excite Children. Can you see the enthusiasm and anticipation on your child’s face when you tell them you are going to use candy to decorate? Transform their favorite pieces into a Christmas countdown garland or a tree topper for their tree.
- Candy Canes and Peppermints. Decorating possibilities are endless with red and white candies. You may want to make a tree, wreath, serving tray, tree topper, or candle holder, but whatever you choose it will be incredibly jovial as you decorate for Christmas.

These are beyond adorable Manuela! It’s hard to decide which is my favorite, but I’m particularly drawn to the cupcake stand. Just a couple of days ago I made something similar to the candy cane cuff and I love how it turned out. I will put it up on the blog soon.
Thank you for the fabulous inspiration!

I always wanted to make a candy house at Christmas, but I knew I would just eat too many of the supplies
Rhonda says
I was at Walmart yesterday and wanted to buy some peppermint for my cough but there were only empty shelves where the pepper mints were supposed to be. All the crafters in this town must be reading your blog 🙂
Manuela says
LOL! I hope not!
