A Snowman and Gingerbread Man Candy Cane Ornament
Candy canes are sweet treats that are loved by many children and adults alike. In this blog posting, https://turtlestitch.blogspot.com/2024/12/embroidering-candy-cane-snowman-ornament.html I
coded a snowman and a gingerbread man in TurtleStitch to embroider on felt. I used its design to create this paper version. The paper version of the snowman and gingerbread man can hold two candy canes. It looks adorable because the candy canes look like the snowman/gingerbread man's arms and legs.
I used 65 lb. cardstock and foil cardstock from Michaels and a four inch piece of ribbon as a hanger.
Here is the PDF if you would like to print and cut with scissors.
Here is the .Studio file for the Silhouette cutting machine.
Here is the SVG for all other electronic cutting machine. The file goes beyond the viewable area. Zoom out to see the entire file.
Bend all of the tabs of the body. Glue the two parts of the body together. Fold the ribbon in half and insert the ribbon in the center of the head. (I pulled the head apart at the top tab and added additional glue and then inserted the ribbon.).
Glue on the embellishments.
As an alternative to the glued on embellishments, it might be fun for a child to color on their own design.
Wait for the glue tabs to dry before inserting the candy canes. I inserted the candy cane through the armhole. Gently expand the armhole and thread the candy cane through the hole.
