The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the joy of festive treats and decor that add a sparkle to our celebrations.

That's where clever tips and budget-friendly tricks come into play, making holiday cheer accessible to everyone.


When it comes to simple, effective, and wallet-friendly solutions, Kmart has become a go-to source for many Australians.

Recently, a $6 Kmart decor trick started making waves online and has turned many homeowners' heads.


So, what is this magical $6 Kmart trick? It's a pack of candy canes that can be used for a variety of holiday treats.

These candy canes are more than just a treat—they are also a versatile decor and addition for any gift.

Aussie content creator and mum Chantel Mila showed a way to use the candy canes which are 'perfect for beginners'—letting even the most novice of crafters produce something special for the holidays.


Here's how you can whip up a festive treat just in time for Christmas:

1. Line your pan with a baking sheet, and pre-heat your oven to 70C.
2. Use two candy canes to form a heart-shape, and place them on the tray.
3. Put the candy canes in the oven for ten minutes. Take them out and pinch the centre of the candy canes to form a ribbon.
4. Place in the oven for ten more minutes.
5. Take it out of the oven and reform it into bows.

The beauty of Kmart's candy canes lie on its simplicity

It's a fantastic way to involve grandchildren in the kitchen, too!

Mila advised to make sure that the candy canes are not too hot during the moulding process, making sure that it's safe for everyone to handle.
