DIY Candy Bar Wrapper Template
Candy seems to be a safe choice when it comes to handing out party favors, prizes or small gifts since most people enjoy a sweet treat. While you can hand out store bought candy bars, using your own customized wrappers gives your treats a special touch. You can keep your design simple and just use colored wrappers to match the theme of your event or take it a step further and add pictures or text to your personalized candy bars.

1
Measure the length of a wrapped candy bar with a measuring tape and reduce the measurement slightly so that the edges of the candy bar will show when you apply your homemade wrapper. For example, if the candy bar is 6 inches long, make the template approximately 5 1/2 inches long. You can use any type of candy bar but the flat ones will work best.
-
2
Wrap the measuring tape around the candy bar to determine its width and add approximately 1 inch to this measurement. This will allow you to overlap the wrapper slightly on the back of the candy bar to help secure it in place.
