Felt and Candy Cane Christmas Tree Favors
These Christmas tree favors are so fun and they’re SO SIMPLE to make. All you need is some green felt, a candy cane and some craft bobbles such as buttons, pom poms or rhinestones to decorate your trees. Make these as a simple gift to give to the kids in your children’s classrooms, or as a gift for their teacher. Or set them out for all your guests for Christmas dinner. They’d even make cute ornaments if you hang the candy cane on the Christmas tree. Use our printable template below for the exact shape you see in the photos, come up with your own shape, or visit our Christmas tree template page to find another tree shape.

Do I have to use the template?
Nope, you can make your own tree template! I recommend folding a piece of paper in half first, drawing the outline on the paper and testing it with the candy cane before you cut the felt. Remember, candy canes have the wide “J” shape at the top of the tree, so your tree shape will need to be wide near the top if you want to cover the candy cane. You can also check out our Christmas tree template page for more printable Christmas tree shapes.
Where is the best place to get the craft supplies?
What can I decorate the tree with besides pom poms?
We used pom poms, sticker rhinestones and sticker buttons to decorate our trees. You can also use pipe cleaners, stickers, markers, glitter glue, felt shapes, ribbon, washi tape or beads to decorate your trees.
What can I use besides a candy cane?
Don’t like candy canes? No problem! Try using a pencil, marker, straw, toothbrush, pipe cleaners, popsicle stick or a plastic spoon for your tree trunk. Simply use tape to attach it to the back of the felt.
We made green felt trees, but you could make yours any color you like! White, pink, blue or even purple trees would be lots of fun!
