Product Information

Using pliers, gently pry open the earring loop. Hook the candy cane and earring loops together. Using pliers, gently close the earring loop.

But why limit yourself to making earrings? You can take things a step further and turn these candy canes into bracelet charms, pendants, or even Christmas tree decorations. Roll two cylinders of polymer clay in each colour with a diameter of 10 mm. Press these cylinders to the first, larger cylinder, directly across from each other. Roll four cylinders of polymer clay in each colour with a diameter of 6mm. Press these cylinders in alternating colour around the first, largest cylinder.

Kids and teens will love making these candy cane earrings for friends or teachers as Christmas gifts. Chop the cylinder in half. Continue rolling one of the halves and making it longer and thinner. Stop rolling when the cylinder has a 6 mm diameter. Chop the cylinder again, creating two lengths. Why not gather with friends or family (in person or via Zoom), and have a little festive Christmas craft party! Any brand of polymer clay will work fine for making these earrings, although I’d suggest not mixing different brands as they may have different baking times and instructions. Bake the candy canes in the oven 130 o Celsius for 15 minutes (or according to the polymer clay brand instructions). Set aside the candy canes and allow them to cool down.

They really are so simple to make. The technique I’ve used means you can whip up several in a big batch, making these candy cane earrings ideal as a handmade gift idea. So easy to make with just a small amount of oven bake polymer. Don’t stop at just one pair, these fun Christmas Earrings make great gifts too. Choose any colour combination you wish. Classic red and white is always popular, but I’ve gone for an 80’s inspired fuchsia and aqua combination. After all, the 80s were all about novelty earrings. I have merged my love of kitsch culture and Christmas to make mouth watering, delicious looking, candy cane dangly earrings.
