Candy Crafts for Christmas | Candy Christmas Tree, Christmas Gnomes + Rudolph Candy Holder!

Get the free patterns for these candy crafts at jennifermaker.com/candy-craft...
Learn how to make fun candy crafts for Christmas, including my gnome candy holder! Christmas and candy go hand in hand, even if you only indulge in a chocolate here and there. In my family our tradition is to fill our stockings with small gifts and candy, but lately I've been seeing new and fun ways to dress up the candy and turn it into a gift all by itself. So I've designed some fun candy crafts for you to make, all using simple cardstock, glue, ribbon, and even half of a clear ball ornament.

Jennifer, I can’t thank you enough. I have had my Maker for almost two years and have been intimidated and frustrated all this time. I have learned so much from you. Hands down you are the best teacher. You have made it easier and love my Cricut now. You are awesome. I look forward to your tutorials. ❤️😘

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! I'm glad they helped you!

Awesome, so glad it was helpful!
