Hi Gram, Here's a pic of the one I made. Also a link to my friend Sandi's darling table where she used the same idea. Just scroll down to the candy cane themed table.

I've also seen them around a candle for a candleholder. One lady said she glued them to a small piece of pvc and then just slid the candle inside it. Or you can glue them around a can or glass and add a larger candle too. Have fun. Luvs
