Dressed Up Candy Bars by Jennifer Priest



Around the holidays, large candy bars and boxes of candy are available for about a $1 each at most discount stores like Target and Walmart. My family loves to dress these up with a few supplies from your stash for a thoughtful gift that does not break the bank.  My kids and I made 20 of these for the baristas at Starbuck’s one year. Total cost was $20 for 20 gifts! Not too shabby. 

Here are a couple more ideas:


And Xaver made these for his co-workers one year!



Check out how to make them on the Tombow blog here: http://blog.tombowusa.com/2012/11/14/dressed-up-candy-bars-by-jennifer-priest/


Thanks for stopping by today!!

    This is a great idea for stocking stuffers! I love the way you’ve varied the candy bar wrappers to change the look. I think the snowman is my favorite one. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea!

    Jennifer, these are adorable, and like you said, will not break the bank, but make lovely thoughtful gifts. I love the way you shared different themes and how clever it is to use up smaller pieces of papers and such from our stash. I cannot throw anything away, so this is a good way to use my leftovers.
