Don&#8217;t stop at just one pair, these fun Christmas Earrings make great gifts too.<\/p>\n<p>I have merged my love of kitsch culture and Christmas to make mouth watering, delicious looking, candy cane dangly earrings.<\/p>\n<p>They really are so simple to make. The technique I&#8217;ve used means you can whip up several in a big batch, making these candy cane earrings ideal as a handmade gift idea.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62733\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5472-hero.jpg\" alt=\"How to make candy cane earrings\" width=\"690\" height=\"863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5472-hero.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5472-hero-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5472-hero-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5472-hero-330x413.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5472-hero-368x460.jpg 368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Choose any colour combination you wish. Classic red and white is always popular, but I&#8217;ve gone for an 80&#8217;s inspired fuchsia and aqua combination. After all, the 80s were all about novelty earrings.<\/p>\n<p>But why limit yourself to making earrings? You can take things a step further and turn these candy canes into bracelet charms, pendants, or even Christmas tree decorations.<\/p>\n<p>Kids and teens will love making these candy cane earrings for friends or teachers as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Why not gather with friends or family (in person or via Zoom), and have a little festive Christmas craft party!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You may also enjoy
