If there's one thing I love in crafting, it’s a low-effort project. These candy tube templates are so easy to cut and put together, they are going to save my butt when I wait until the last minute for classroom treats this year... because I know I will!
Why You’ll Love It
This template is quick, simple, and super easy to batch.
The shapes cut cleanly, the pieces line up without fuss, and you can put together a whole set in no time. Great for classroom treats, stocking stuffers, or just something cute to hand out.
What You’ll Need
- Cardstock - I used Bazzill from 12x12 Cardstock Shop
- Cricut, Silhouette, or another cutting machine
- Glue - I use Bearly Art
- M&Ms candy tubes (regular or mega size)
How to Assemble
It’s as easy as it looks — cut the file, wrap it around the tube, and secure it with glue or tape. Because of the simple nature of this file, I did not do a long-form assembly tutorial - however, if you need a quick reference I did make a YouTube short showing the assembly here.
Choose between a tree or candy cane, or both - both is good! These templates will fit both sizes of M&Ms tubes, the regular 1.08 oz size and the mega 1.77 oz size. I have seen the Christmas style ones in stores in the mega size,and it would be so cute with a red or green candy cane!
Fun Ways to Use These
- Classroom holiday treats
- Stocking stuffers
- Desk drop-offs for coworkers
- Craft fair items
- Little gifts for neighbors
- Party favors
- Teacher treats
Tips if You’re Making a Bunch
- Cut all your pieces at once so you can assemble in batches
- Fold everything first, then glue — it’s quicker
- Keep regular and mega tubes separated if you’re mixing sizes
