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.
You will need:
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.
Place your hat fabric, right side facing down, on your table. Place the candy bar in the center and down like this.
Wrap the fabric around the candy bar and glue in place. I used a dab of hot glue.
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??
