Upcycled Valentine Decorations

If you ever buy these seasonal Valentine Candy canes, save the packaging. Upcycle them into a backdrop decoration (like I did) or you can use for decoration at your front door.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

Empty Valentines Candy Cane Packaging
Rocks
Masking tape
Acrylic paint + paint brush
String
Scissors
Optional Confetti
Optional Sticker ribbon

Valentine's themed tubes, similar to candy cane tubes.

Steps:

Fill the empty cane with rocks so it can stand on its own.

Seal the top with masking tape so nothing falls out.

Wrap masking tape around to cover logo and prep for paint. I found using strips vertically for masking tape works best. Repeat the process for the rest of your canes.

Paint to the color of your liking and allow to dry. Optional: You can add confetti, or glitter if you want too.

Decorate trim if you want, I used sticker ribbon.

Using string or ribbon - figure out the distance between you'd like them to be and use masking tape or you can tie around the heart. Display outside or inside.
