Create a unique (and easy!) Christmas necklace with a candy cane design in a few easy steps! You’ll love making this and adding it to your holiday wardrobe.
I’m Heidi from the blog Hands Occupied, and I’m very excited to be sharing a DIY Christmas candy cane necklace with you all!
For today’s project, I decided to create a jewelry tutorial with some Mod Podge products you don’t necessarily see every day around the crafty blogosphere.
I wanted my DIY necklace to be something festive now that the holiday season is upon us – but I also wanted it to be a project that wouldn’t take 20 hours to make since we’re all crazy busy in December.
Gather These Supplies
- Clear acrylic keychain blank or similar
- Candy cane ribbon or piece of paper cut to look like a small candy cane
- Glitter Dimensional Magic
- Mod Podge Sparkle

All KINDS OF SHAPES!!! Woo Hoo! Happy Dance!
I’ll be on the hunt for those podgeable shapes! This is too cute!
I can’t wait to try this. this is so cute.
That’s so sweet! I need to get into Dimensional Magic!
I would like to make these for Christmas but I want to use a photo instead of
a candy cane on the shape do you think it would be okay? Should I print the photo onto
paper first?
I think a photo would be fine!
Love this! Very magical idea! TFS!
My husband turned our one car garage into a room, which is now our hobby room… so all we can close it up and the kids stay out for the most part. 🙂
I’ve got a huge, heavy bell jar I stick on top of things. Sometimes it’ll get humid, so I just wedge a thin book underneath to let the air flow. A cat would really have to try to get past it!
This is cute! I have a bottle of dimensional magic, but have not used it due to the drying times. It’s not the kids, it’s the CATS. And trying to protect things (with say, a box) only creates more feline interest. I am sure I have cat fur in the coasters I modpodged last night–and maybe footprints, but it won’t be visible. I think.
