Candy Cane Dreams Special Frit Blend, 2 oz, 96 COE

Celebrate the playful colors of the holiday season with Candy Cane Dreams Frit Blend, a handcrafted 96 COE artisan glass frit inspired by striped candy canes, Christmas sweets, evergreen branches, festive decorations, and nostalgic holiday colors.

Bright red, two complementary greens, warm coral-pink, and creamy vanilla tones come together in a cheerful palette that offers a softer twist on traditional Christmas red and green. The addition of coral and cream gives the blend warmth and dimension, creating finished glasswork that can range from classic holiday color to whimsical peppermint-candy effects.

Designed for 96 COE glass systems, Candy Cane Dreams performs beautifully in lampworking, glass fusing, glassblowing, and surface decoration. Mosaic applications preserve the individual fragments of red, green, coral, and cream for colorful confetti-like patterns, while melting and swirling allow the colors to soften and move together. Encasing can add depth and create additional variation as the individual colors overlap beneath clear glass.

Candy Cane Dreams pairs especially well with white, ivory, cream, clear, red, and green base glass. Light opaque bases keep the palette bright and playful, while transparent and clear bases can create greater depth and allow the individual colors to interact in unexpected ways.

Compatible with 104 COE glass when used sparingly, generally around 5–10% of the total design. Testing on a small project is always recommended before committing to a larger piece.

Inspiration beads are shown for demonstration only and are not included.

Inspired By

Candy Cane Dreams was inspired by the playful side of Christmas—the colorful candies, striped peppermint treats, decorated cookies, evergreen branches, and cheerful colors that seem to appear everywhere during the holidays.

Rather than relying solely on traditional red and dark green, this palette introduces creamy vanilla and warm coral-pink alongside two shades of green. The result feels nostalgic and unmistakably festive while still leaving plenty of room for experimentation beyond traditional Christmas designs.

Handcrafted in small batches in the USA by glass artist Stephanie A. White, each jar is carefully blended for consistency while preserving the natural variation inherent in artisan glass. Colors may vary slightly due to lighting, monitor settings, application technique, base glass, flame chemistry, kiln schedule, and individual working conditions.
