Making candy cane and lollypop ornaments
Christina from Jam Fancy sent us this quick last-minute ornament craft
You will need:
A board to work on
Toothpicks
Fimo or sculpey
A plate
Roll a ball of each of your Christmas colours of about the same size.
Roll out the balls into thin sausages then twist two colours together. Roll them in to one thin sausage and cut the long piece in roughly in half.
If you are making candy canes form them into the right shape by making a crook at one end.
To make lollipops, roll the sausage in upon itself to make a spiral and flatten out the round shape by pressing it down with you fingers.
Using the blunt end of the toothpick, make a hole in the top of the circle.
With the pointed end of the toothpick, push gently into the bottom of the circle to make the lollipop stick.
Place the canes and lollipops on the plate and follow the instructions on the packets for the cooking times.
Thread up the lollipop and then decorate your tree!
