Holiday DIY: Cute Christmas Candy Cane Jars!

Candy canes are one of the most well-known christmas symbols, which makes them great, easy and cheap decorations to use during this time of year!
I'm going to be showing you how to make two different, but similar Candy Cane Jars you can place around your home, in your office, or anywhere else you'd like this holiday season!
The first one is pretty simple. 
What you need:
•4-7 full size peppermint candy canes.
•1 mason jar.
•A ribbon of choice. (1 inch width max.)[Holiday or traditional christmas colors work best]
All you'll need to do is first, tie the ribbon around the top of the mason jar, where the lid would usually screw on. After that, place your candy canes on the inside, so their hooked on the jar.
Next jar decoration:
This decoration will be a little more work, but the finised product is totallynworth it!
What you need:
•4-6 Fake or real candy canes.
•Flower vase. (Make sure your vase is big enough for your chosen candy canes)
•Cotton balls
•Christmas tree orniments (small ones work best)
•Glitter [OPTIONAL]
So your going to start off by taking a few cotton balls and pulling them apart. As you pull them apart, place them into the bottom of your vase you have chosen. Until you feel you have enough "snow" (cotton balls) you continue adding them. This is where the option of glitter comes in. If you choose to add glitter, you can put some in the snow just for a more decrative effect. You'll then want to add candy canes inside your vase, hooking them to the rim if the vase. After you put an acceptable amount of candy canes in the vase, you can add your small orniments inside the vase (as its seen in the photo above).
You can place these anywhere for a holiday feel.
