Hi, Connie here with a cute and easy candy wrapper project using several of the January release stamps from Joy Clair. This project, is one of those, that can be adapted to an event, an occasion or holiday. I used #single, Lucky Charms and Easter Greetings to create these fun candy wrappers.
Here are two different examples of the candy wrapper using the Joy Clair stamps. I don't have measurements because they might be different depending on the candy bar or treat bar you wanted to cover. All I did was lay the candy bar down and wrap my paper around and then trimmed the paper until the size was right. It takes maybe 2 minutes to get the paper sized.
I used a border punch on this one. The rabbits are stamped with gray ink and the lips and flowers were colored in by watered down red acrylic paint. It is what I had out on my work table so that is what I used. A red ink marker would work well also for adding color to the lips and flowers. The front is speckled with white ink. All the images and sentiments were stamped on white cardstock and then cut out. They were arranged on the front of the candy wrapper and then adhered down. The wrapper is secured with double sided tape and tied with twine. Stamps used are from Lucky Charms, Easter Greetings and #single stamp sets.
This one is created very much the same as the first candy wrapper shown. I did use scrap papers and I loved that!! The fun element on this one is the paper was run through a paper crimper. I love the look it gave the wrapper. The images were stamped out matted on cardstock and adhered to the wrapper front. The color to the heart and word "Happy" were added with red acrylic paint. The wrapper is secured with double sided tape and tied with twine. The stamps used are from the #single set.
Thanks for stopping by~
