How to Make Oversized Candy Cane Candles for Your Yard

How to Make Oversized Candy Cane Candles for Your YardImagine walking up to your home and being greeted by giant striped candles glowing as if they were lit by Santa’s elves.

These larger-than-life decorations feel whimsical yet cozy, like a Christmas card scene brought to life.

Their candy cane stripes remind everyone of sweet holiday treats, while the glowing tops cast a warm, welcoming light.

Plus, they’re the kind of décor that neighbors admire and kids will never forget, transforming your yard into a storybook setting for the season.

Materials Needed

  • 6-8 PVC pipes or heavy cardboard tubes (different heights, 3-6 ft tall, 6-8” diameter)
  • Red and white spray paint (outdoor safe)
  • Plastic red globe light covers (large enough to sit on top)
  • Battery-operated LED puck lights or solar lights
  • Expanding foam or hot glue
  • Painter’s tape
  • Outdoor adhesive or screws

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Cut your PVC pipes to varying heights for a more dynamic display. Then sand edges smooth.

Step 2: Use painter’s tape to mark stripes around each pipe, then spray paint alternating red and white. Let them dry completely.

Step 3: Create a wax-drip effect by applying expanding foam or thick hot glue around the rim of each pipe. Once dry, paint over with white for a realistic melted wax look.

Step 4: Place LED puck or solar lights inside each pipe, then top with a red globe cover to mimic a glowing flame.

Step 5: Arrange your giant candles in clusters near walkways, the front porch, or even in flower beds.

Finally, secure bases with outdoor adhesive or stakes if needed to keep them upright.
