Deck the halls (or Christmas Tree) with wool candy canes. falalalalalalalalala.
All the visual goodness of a candy cane, but without the sugar crash. Plus you can use them year after year!
True story: I was walking to the kitchen to get some dessert when I saw these out of the corner of my eye and for a brief minute I thought "hey, we have candy canes". And then I turned around and realized the awkwardness of the situation.
I've made these candy canes using a combination of wet felting and needle felting. The inside is a pipe cleaner, so it's bendable, and the red and white stripes are out of soft merino wool.
