Online Resources

Candy Cane

You can figure out how to print this image or use it as a guide to draw your own candy cane.

Transfer the image onto fabric using your favorite technique. My cheap method for transferring is to trace the design lines in a soft pencil, flip the paper over, and rub it to press the soft pencil graphite into the fabric.

Embroidery Method Options

Use punchneedle, free motion machine embroidery, or crewel redwork.
