Candy Cane Koala Craft

We love Aussie animals! Here’s how to make a cute koala on a candy cane.  This Australiana craft project makes a brilliant Christmas tree decoration or gift for friends. You could adapt the design to make a brown bear or panda on candy cane decoration.

You will need:

  • Candy cane
  • Card (we used silver, white and black but you could use plain white and colour in with pens)
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors, tape, glue

If you just want to skip out the crafting and buy your own gorgeous koala Christmas tree decoration, you’ve got to check out the ones from Chameleon & Co.

How to make the koala on a candy cane decoration:

  • Fold the card inside out.
  • Draw a koala with arms touching the fold line.
  • Cut out both layers (the arms should be joined over the fold) and turn the right way round.
  • We cut off the head on the back of the koala to give a neater shape.
  • Cut out innners for the ears from white card and a long nose from black card.  Stick on to make the koala’s face and add googly eyes.
  • Stick the candy cane between the arms (like the koala is hugging the candy cane) with tape.
  • Glue the front and back koala body, sandwiching the candy cane.
