Santa’s candy cane sleigh is a fun homemade gift, stocking stuffer, and edible holiday decoration. Easy to make and super cute for Christmas!
Many of the tutorials I have seen use hot glue guns to put candy sleighs together. I set out to see if it could be done using double-sided and clear tape. Spoiler alert! IT CAN BE DONE.
Using tape instead of hot glue makes this holiday craft even easier for beginners, including kids.

Materials
- 2 candy canes
- 1 Kit Kat (full-size)
- 10 miniature HERSHEYS candy bars
- 1 Santa Claus candy (about 2-3 inches tall)
- 1 mini gift bow
- Double-sided Tape
- Clear Tape
Instructions
- Use clear tape to attach the candy canes to the under side of the Kit Kat bar. The candy canes are the "sleigh runners."
- Use double sided tape to attach 4 miniature candy bars in a row across the top of the Kit Kat Bar.
- Continue using double sided tape to add a row of 3 mini candy bars on top. Note: You will want the row to be offset so it will stack like a pyramid shape.
- Then, add a row of 2 mini bars. Finally, add one more mini candy bar and stick a mini bow on top. The miniature candy bars are a stack of gifts on Santa's sleigh.
- Use double sided tape to attach Santa to the front of the sleigh. Santa should look like he is driving at the front of the sleigh.
