It is late, both in the hour and in the month but I wanted to get this posted. I needed to make a gift for my husband's basketball team girls. I have always seen those big huge Symphony Candy Bars and thought that there had to be something cute that I could make with them. Then I saw this snowman idea on a blog and knew that would be perfect. I apologize profusely because I promised myself I would remember where I saw it and link there because they had a download for a wrapper already made and now I can't for the life of me find where I saw the idea. Anyone know where I saw this idea? Please let me know. This is not my idea. I just thought I would share a tutorial with the measurements for this size candy bar for anyone else that might want to make one this size.

1 piece of white paper (I used computer paper) 7 6/8 x 11
1 piece fabric 9 1/2 x 5 for the hat
1 piece fabric 1" x 15"
Wrap your paper around your candy bar and tape it on the back side.




I loved these when I saw them, too!! Love your blog....

Thanks again! You are so generous!
These are so cute! I think I'll have to do these next year for Girl Scouts! I love your site and check it often. I was wondering if you had any ideas of decorating wrappers like this for a 1st birthday party favor??

What a fantastic idea! :) They are adorable. I took the idea and made Christmas Cards for my students. Plus: I allowed myself to share this idea on my German Teacher Blog "Klassenkunst"
