Candy Cane Holder Card Instructions

Step 1: Print and Cut

Print on cardstock and trim out the penguin and the flipper piece using scissors or an X-Acto knife.


Step 2: Fold

Fold along the line.


Step 3: Add Glue

Apply glue to the end of the flipper piece.

Step 4: Attach to the Back

Glue one end of the flipper piece to the back of the penguin.


Step 5: Wrap and Glue

Bring the flipper piece around to the front and glue the ends together where the flippers (hands) meet.

The flipper piece is slightly longer, so you can bend it gently. This creates just enough space for the candy cane to slide through.


Step 6: Insert the Candy Cane

Slide the candy cane through. If you’d like extra hold, add a small piece of tape below the candy cane to keep it in place.
