During a recent episode of un-intentional brainstorming (why is it that I can intentionally brainstorm and never think of anything?) that I came up with this awesome plan for decorating in our dining area!
What do you get when you put 36 candy canes (only 0.88/box) and clear fishing line together?
Cheap.
Beautimous.
Pottery Barn-ish.
Fabulously Frugal.
A Candy Cane Christmas!
Now…Go find some candy canes and fishing line and get hanging!

This is brilliant. I'm new to your site (came from WFMW) and I'm now convinced you're a genius. I'm definitely doing this next year. Great idea.

I bought the fishing line and candy canes, today….my 17 year old daughter has suggested I use some of her gold crimping beads to attach the line to the canes….it will be subtle….but pretty…Thanks for the wonderful idea!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
