SUPPLIES:
scrapbook paper
colored cardstock
candy canes
hot glue gun
scissors
First, lay your candy canes down on the paper in the shape of a heart. Use that shape to estimate the size that your card will be. Mine ended up being about 6 inches tall by 4 inches wide. Cut both the scrapbook paper and the colored card stock to that size.
Next, run a bead of hot glue down one side of the candy canes and attach them to the scrapbook paper. Trim around the edges of the candy canes so that the only part of the scrapbook paper that you see is inside the candy cane heart.
Then, attach the scrapbook paper/candy cane heart to the colored cardstock.
You can add a message on the front of the card....
...or on the back of the card.
You could even frame these in cute picture frames with the glass removed.
What kind of Valentine's Day crafts are you working on?

That is cute! I wish I had thought of that before I threw out all our old candy canes the other day.
That is a GREAT idea...I just emptied our candy jar of candy canes yesterday and put Valentine M&M's in it...but now I know what we can do with the leftover candy canes! So cute!
