Use some of the ideas below for inspiration as you invent or add to your holiday collection. You’ll love these Peppermint Christmas Decor ideas.
1. Start by hanging peppermint candy cane decorations
Whether you use real candy canes or fake ones, they look great hanging from a ribbon around the house. Hang them near the mantle, in front of a window, or across a doorway in your home. They also look great hanging from trees outside in your front yard. You’ll love seeing these items as you enter your house.
2. Peppermint patterned candy cane wreath
A peppermint wreath is easy to make by starting with a plain evergreen wreath and adding some peppermint and candy canes to the main portion with some floral wire. Then add a red and white ribbon tied in a bow, and you’re ready to hang it up!
Instead of using real peppermints or candy canes to create a wreath, you can also just use red and white ribbon or fabric. Wrap the material around a circular piece of foam to give it a striped look. Attach red, green, and white ornaments and decorations, and you’ll have a pretty wreath for the front door as you enter your house.
3. Wire art in peppermint design
If you are crafty with wire and other supplies, try making your own candy cane or peppermint Christmas decor. Twist some crimson and silver wire or metal together to create an adorable peppermint ornament or decoration for your house. These look great on a sign inside or outside your house or hanging on a tree.
4. Wreath made entirely of candy canes
Use candy canes to make your own homemade wreath. Rather than just adding peppermints and candy canes to an evergreen wreath, you can make a small wreath entirely out of them!
A homemade wreath is a lovely way to decorate for the holidays. Arrange the candy canes back to back for a simple look or glue them onto a white wreath with colorful ornaments for more color and dimension. You can find all sorts of candy cane wreath trends online. Add them to your collection this year.
