In November 2007 I posted ideas for Beaded Candy Canes. Of all the beaded candy cane ornaments I talked about, I like the one found at Craft Elv. This Beaded Candy Cane can be made with just beads or fancied up with lace. If you do not have the materials required to make a Beaded Candy Cane Ornament, you can find some Beaded Candy Cane kits at Oriental Trading Company. These kits give enough supplies to make multiple ornaments. It is only the middle of September, so you have lots of time to get those Candy Cane decorations made before Christmas. Happy Crafting!!
