Patterned Candy Cane with Stitched Bow and Pine Branches

A large candy cane curves across the page from the top left down to the bottom right, its surface filled with zentangle style patterns like swirls, leaves, petals and small flowers. Near the middle, a big striped bow with stitched edges and long hanging ribbon tails ties together a bundle of fine pine branches. A large poinsettia style flower sits at the center of the bow, with another flower, round swirl ornaments, a lollipop, a zigzag patterned egg shaped ornament and two small stars tucked in around it. The detail is small and layered, so it suits older kids, teens and adults who like slow, careful coloring. Try fine tip markers or colored pencils, with a different palette for each pattern section on the cane, and keep the pine needles in soft greens so the bow and flowers stand out. You can print it as often as you like.
