DIY: Valentine's Day Candy Bar

I recently saw this post on wrapping a candy bar, so I thought I would give it a try since Valentine's Day is right around the corner. It was super fast, easy, and cheap! Total cost = $12.47. The scrapbook paper was on sale at Michaels for $0.20 per sheet, as was the twine for only $0.69, and the Hershey bars were 10 for $10. (I used the larger bars because of the sale, but the standard size will work fine too)


How to: Cut paper to the size of outer Hershey wrapper (I unfolded one and used it as a template); place bar upside down on paper (print side down) and fold over one side- taping securely; fold over opposite flap and tape; wrap twine around & tie bow; draw with a marker and cut a heart out of pink, red, or brown paper; tape heart to bar.

Simple, right?! I am sure there are tons of variations to this (stickers, ribbons, etc.), so don't be afraid to try anything. I thought a poem would be cute written on a bigger heart cut-out. These bars would be perfect for a family get-together, birthday party, baby shower, wedding favors, or just for your counter.

Have a good weekend xoxo
