when i think of christmas season,
candy canes and reindeer come to mind.
something like this actually:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwtrXtcTuV1mEUBLQpCHmUOahgRuUP0UA47FinmlEpBfahgwnVm8TVWdCOTlwKLyEp_4_fZuDVWaFTqkqfZxGbWNKdrhHmPDSicWmH7lcAYZ7Nms-5Xn0W1gqUW5gDc25dTZ7Nip8-ypu4/s640/1-giant-reindeer-and-santa-candy-filled-canes-opening-hooplapalooza.png)

did you guys ever make a reindeer out of a candy cane?
it's super duper easy but i wanted to do it
a little different this time.
i have no clue why things in mini and giant size are so fun
but today i am making these candy canes in mega style.
here's what you'll need:

you can get the candy-filled canes at
dollar tree or anywhere really.
i was just going the cheap route to save up
my coins for my family's christmas gifts.
and besides that, you can get a bunch and
make them for your kid's class too and it won't cost you an arm or leg :)
here's the how to:

and a couple more details.
like a smile for instance since there really
isn't room on a regular size candy cane to
make one, i took advantage of the space.
see?

i just used some paint markers.

i think they need one more detail.
like a bow around their neck?
