DIY Tutorial - Candy Bar Wrappers, by Creature Comforts

A special thanks to EZ, from Creature Comforts for this fabulous Candy Bar wrapper tutorial. These would make darling favors.

Just Download free-printable-candybar-wrappers-sm.pdf (for 2.6 oz candy bars) or Download free-large-candybar-wrappers.pdf (for 5 oz. candy bars) and then follow the simple directions below. Please feel free to share the love with your friends and family!  Enjoy!

Candybarhowto YOU WILL NEED:

-Chocolate candy bars (either 2.6 oz or 5 oz sizes)
-Color Printer
-Standard printer paper (white, color, or patterned will work) or self-adhesive paper
-Decorative Paper (be creative... you could use: graph paper, contact paper, vellum, magazine pages, etc.)
-Scissors
-Glue (or double-sided tape)
-Pen(s) or Pencil(s) for addressing your labels

1. Buy your favorite candy bars 2.6 oz. or 5 oz. (for this project you will need to select bars that come foil-wrapped with a removable paper label).
2. Carefully remove the paper labels from your candy bars.  If stuck, use a dull instrument to gently loosen label.
3. Print the PDF files (above) and cut around each one.
4. Select a decorative paper of your choosing.
5. Cut to size (6" x 5.25" for 2.6 oz bars and 6.75" x 8.25" for 5 oz bars).  Wrap each candy bar, securing in back with glue or double-sided tape.
6. Adhere your decorative labels to the front of the candy bars and address them as you wish.

this is so great! i'll be starting to plan my wedding at some point in the near future (not quite ready yet!), and i love this cute idea. i can tell this will be a go-to blog for me once i start planning.

I couldn't love this more. So glad I found your blog (via Creature Comforts.)

neat idea!

This is so funny-I just did this, only for an Easter Treat. It was an easy, inexpensive and FUN project, and the outcome was really pretty, since I added a crazy amount of glitter & rhinestones. ;)
