PVC Candy Cane Decorations

Want to decorate your driveway with big, big candy canes? They're easy to make and with a little work and spraypaint you'll have some large canes to turn your entrance into a bit of candy wonderland.

Here's how to do it.

This instructable was brought to you by Krylon.

Step 1: Get PVC pipe and paint

These candy canes are made of standard 3/4" PVC pipe. If you want, you can opt for the 1" PVC or, with ore work, something even bigger.

In the picture are the PVC pipes cut to 5' lengths. Easily done by cutting the standard 10' length in half with a saw. Bring a saw to the hardware store and you can easily cut these down to size in the parking lot for easier transport.

You'll also need some paint. I used Krylon® Fusion for Plastic in Satin White and Dual™ Paint + Primer in Banner Red

Awesome! Very doable!

Or instead of masking and painting it red, you could wrap it with red electrical tape.

Or even red ribbon glued down. I've seen both of those before, but I prefer the painted-on look. It's flatter.

...or be flashy and use reflective tape.

Very cute. :)

Yeah, I like it. At first I thought it was going to be too over the top, but it works pretty well.

Great job. I love the look of them along your pathway. :D
