Christmas is getting close! If you need some fun candy treats or stocking stuffers, here is a fun and easy idea! Just decorate some candy bars with your craft supplies like these Wrapped Christmas Candy Bars. You can use any size candy bars you have, big or little!
These candy bars I used are just regular size Hershey Bars. It’s a great way to use up some scraps of designer paper you have around. You could use cardstock and layer with designer paper or stamp on cardstock! Whatever you want! It’s so fun to make these you barely need to think about it!
The paper sizes all depend on your candy bar size, of course. I found 5 1/4″ wide worked well on these candy bars. Then I just wrapped the designer paper around the bar and adhered the overlapping ends.
The top candy bar in the photo uses the Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I was going to put one solid green tree in the center but I notice the other side of the paper was pretty so I punched three trees with the Pine Tree Punch and added some gems to the solid trees.
The middle candy bar uses the Penguin Playmates Designer Paper that was available during Sale-A-Bration. It’s such cute paper and you probably have some. I kind of picked the characters I wanted on the center of the candy bar and cut the paper to fit. Then I just tied some Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around each end because I didn’t want to cover up the center image of the paper!
The third candy bar is wrapped with a piece of the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (retired). Since there wasn’t much space and I was keeping these super easy, I just cut a strip of another pattern of the paper to get the ornaments and bell images for the center of the candy bar.
You could think of tons of ways to decorate candy bars for Christmas or other occasions. Here is a post from 2014 with candy bars decorated for Christmas! These are really fun and cute!
You still have time to make some candy treats for Christmas, for stockings, party favors, or table settings. Make them into place cards if you are having people for dinner! They are really fun so enjoy!
