I simply can't resist beautiful handmade bits and bobs so when I saw this little DIY project I just couldn't say no. I just wish I had seen it about 3 weeks ago so I could have made my mummy a sweet little personalized candy bar for Mother's Day :)
Although I can't speak from experience, as I have not yet had a go at this project, it looks pretty straight forward. Plus the step by step photo's surely help!
You will need: -Chocolate candy bars (either 2.6 oz or 5 oz sizes)
-A Colour Printer (or a friend with one)
-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
-Pens or Pencils 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.
Labels can be downloaded here in big or small
