I tried the candy cane Ice skate and I couldn't open it without down sizing it to a 3.9 X 3.9 design. This caused a few issues, and I didn't quite figure out the candy cane hoop. So after a few problems, I was able to alter it to this beautiful ornament. Don't you just love when a failure becomes a success! The failure was on my part, lol Because I had to change the size, its too small for a standard candy cane anyway. Looked pretty funny laying next to it. Sure wish I had a bigger hoop!! :(
