Hey guys!

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured it could be part of a party, as a decoration piece...

Here's what I made for my buffet table center piece.... Let me know what you think! :)

Looks great! What's behind the candy canes providing the base?

Hey there Warrant! Sorry about the delay in answering your question.... It's a crazy time!

I bought a $2 glass rectangular "vase" at the dollar store and covered it up with red fabric (kind of a satin) because it was too high for the canes to cover it entirely... That's it!

The canes also came from the dollar store (I used 4 or 5 boxes - approx. 44 canes - can't tell for sure because my sister "stole" it from me when she came on the 24th, because she wanted it for her party on the 25th!!!). Once they were glued to the vase, I used spray clear acrylic to protect the canes from melting and being sticky...

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey Xmasbb70, would you be willing to write up a how-to for the SP site? Safeway used to have a how to on there that was similar, but it looks as though they moved it or it is down now.

Okay, I was able to resurrect Safeway's on the SP site: http://holiday2009.skyworld.com/recipe.cfm?cid=5&rid=33

But I'd still like your version. :)
