Christmas Candy Cane Post


  This year, I decided to use my imagination and make some Christmas decorations of my own. I used insulation foam, paint, & PVC to make the side of my garage look like a gingerbread house. These candy cane posts are just one element of my theme. They are simple and cheap to make, but look very nice. Give one to a friend so they can enjoy it!

What you need:

  • 2" PVC pipe (Comes in a 10 foot length from most home improvement stores. I cut mine into five 2 foot lengths, but you can cut whatever size suits you)
  • Chain link fence post cap (2")
  • Painter's tape
  • Red Paint (Krylon Fusion for plastic)
  • White Paint ((Krylon Fusion for plastic)
  • Circular Saw or Jig Saw or Dremel tool to cut the PVC pipe
  

How and How Long:

  1. Cut the pipe.
  2. Tape stripes and paint red.
  3. Add cap and place in yard.
Approximate project time: less than one hour.
