  • Hold the long sides of the candy canes together, so the curved ends are evenly spaced. Holding them tightly together place the bottoms on a flat surface to ensure the bottom is level.

  • Use festive cards (refer to photos) or print name place settings.
  • Store candy cane place card holders at room temperature until you’re ready to use them.

Notes

I removed the plastic wrapping from the candy canes before creating the place card holders. 
To allow the candy canes to still be edible, leave the plastic wrapping ON and use tape to snugly affix the candy canes. Cover the tape with decorative ribbon or wider Washi tape.
