- This DIY Christmas candy cane archway will be a great addition to the entrance of your home. This easy DIY project requires one sheet of plywood, a jigsaw, Christmas bulbs, wire, a wreath, and some paint. Using the large c9 Christmas bulbs will make this candy cane archway pop, but of course, you can use whatever lights you would like. I have been displaying a similar archway for years at my home and visitors loved it! Have fun with the project, and good luck!
I have been building DIY Christmas decorations for years for my personal Christmas display which was featured on ABC's "The Great Christmas Light Fight" (Season 7 episode 4) and we were fortunate enough to win! Now I have decided to share my DIY projects with you! I hope you enjoy and have fun building!

When you started painting those bright RED stripes, I found myself grinning. Another great and absolutely adorable project and you have made it look so easy that I think I am going to make them for my Grandma Shed in my back yard. My shed has double doors so I may make the arch with not so quite a high pitch but it is going to look great. Thanks for the inspiration ! Every year I decorate my back yard even more than I do the front yard; my living room is at the back of the house. But the biggest reason is because every year, I turn my shed into a Santa's and Mrs. Claus' Christmas house and the first weekend of December, we have an open house for our HOA families and invite them over for hot cocoa, hot apply cider, donuts and sugar cookies. Santa (my husband) gives out candy canes to the children and we have a lot of fun doing it. I think if my candy cane archway turns outs well, I may even do it for the gate ! Thanks again !!! Good job !!! Texas Granny.
I want a Grandma Shed!!❤
Your results are fantastic with a professional looking outcome. Thank you for showing us your process.
One little note that may also help in the painting that you more than likely know but many subscribers may not. I have found to always add 1 more coat of the base color (white in this case) over the taped area's first before painting the red guaranteeing absolute sharp edges of the other color. That white ( base color) will seal the tape at any possible area the red (second color) would normally try to bleed under. In your case this time it was obvious you didn't need to do this but if using rough wood with a much coarser grain it helps big time!
Jordan you're BLESSED, brother!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the step-up drill bit idea. You the man.
It looks so clean and professional! Incredible!
Love this. The only thi k I would change is I would move the lights in from the edge a bit more, just a little too close for me. This turned out so good!
What a beautiful job on the candy canes !!! Way to go !!! Looks so beautiful.
Jordan, I love this idea. For this Christmas season, I built a 30 foot x 8 feet high lighted tunnel using net lighting (some bulbs blink). I have a gap between my front door's two steps down to the tunnel. Your candy cane archway is a brilliant idea to tie in my house to my lighted tunnel. Not sure if I have enough time to build it this season but for sure I'll do it for next season.
Love your work
Heck yeah!!!
Wow 😊very nice ❤
This looks great! I just got a jigsaw and might want to try something like this. Do you have any recommendations for sealing the wood? I know that I'd do multiple coats of paint and exterior grade plywood but the sun and rain beating down on this may age it quicker than I'd like.
Does it have to be that way 4 the lights or can I put the light fully through
It looks like you changed from red to white bulbs on the red stripes in the final reveal. Did the red bulbs not show up well?
There were still red. The camera washed out the color.
Well done. Did you make the wreath as well?
Thank you! It is a blow mold wreath
@holidaylightingcreations old school awesome. I made an 8ft wreath
Do you have a post on how to STORE all this?😂😂😂😂
I should make a video haha
