I haven’t been brave enough to take on candy canes yet this year – but yours turned out so pretty I may go ahead, and give it a try!

Thank you! It took me a while to think of what I wanted to do for our Beautiful Christmas series.

OH! I get it! Not rolled out like cookie dough. Rolled out skinny and long. I can see where twisting to start makes things quick and easy. Thank you for clearing it up for my slow little mind!

Hey, Beth,

Really, it’s ideal if you have someone else rolling out one color while you’re rolling out one. It dries *really* fast. It’s kind of like taffy. I don’t think it matters if you twist/cut or cut/twist first.

So you roll out all of the white at once, and then all the red at once? Then cut them to size and twist together? I can see a whole army of red and white, AND turquoise and white ones together!
