Do Not Open Until December 25th Candy Bar Wrapper

These Christmas candy bar wrappers are so simple to make you can have a couple dozen created within the hour. You never know when unexpected guests will arrive during the holidays and they are affordable gifts to hand out.

Materials You Will Need:
Cardstock or Matte Photo Paper 8.5" x 11"
I prefer LD Heavy Coated Inkjet Paper
(it's inexpensive and prints in vivid colors)
Scissors
Double Sided Tape ( I prefer ScorPal)
Regular Size Chocolate Candy Bars 1.45 oz. to 1.55 oz.
Time to make these: 5 minutes per set of 2.

Step Two: Before printing make sure that the “fit to page” selection is NOT selected so they print out the correct size.





Step Three: Load your printer with your cardstock or matte photo paper and print the wrapper.
Step Four: Cut out the candy wrappers with your best “paper” scissors. I’ve accidentally used my good fabric scissors before and ruined them. Once your wrappers have been cut out turn them over and place them on the table so the white side of the paper is facing you. Before putting the double sided tape on make sure you are taping the top and bottom of the wrappers and not the sides.





Step Five: Start with the top of the wrapper and pull the paper off the double sided tape. Lay your candy bar on the inside of the wrapper and fold the top portion of the wrapper over about a half inch. You can look to make sure the wording on the wrapper is aligned where the top front folds over so your words aren’t up too far on the fold. I’ve goofed a few times and it easily pulls up to adjust as long as you don’t press down too hard on the tape. Once it is aligned where you want it, press down on the wrapper so the tape is adhered well.











Step Six: Remove the paper from the double sided tape from the bottom side of the wrapper and fold over the candy bar. Align the straight edge of the bottom up with the top and press down to seal. See image above.
You’ve now mastered the art of wrapping candy bars! Now you are ready to wrap your next one with the 2nd wrapper on your printed sheet that you cut out. I’ve found it’s cheaper to buy the candy bars in the 6 packs they sell. These have been a huge hit with coworkers, friends, and to use as stocking stuffers.
