Store Bought Candy Dressed Up!!!

Everyone is looking for inexpensive gifts to give this holiday season. Why not pick up some packaged candy and wrap them up in cleaver ways to give as a quick affordable gift this holiday season. 

Supplies:                                                                 
Candy Packages
Holiday Paper, Gift Wrap
Pipe Cleaner or Wire
Beads
Ribbons, Embellishments
Velcro - optional
Adhesive Tape





Directions:
1. Measure Paper or Gift Wrap to fit around candy of your choice.
2. I folded mine to look like a purse on the truffle packages and they worked great. I just wrapped paper around candy bars and added embellishments.
3. Once the paper is cut and folded to fit around the package, you are ready to add a handle if needed and embellishments.
4. I found using pipe cleaners works great for the handle if you have beads that will fit on that thickness.
5. I just punched small holes in the top fold and then taped the handle ends to the inside of the flap.
6. I had Velcro circles, so I added them to keep the flap closed on the truffle packages.  You can use tape if you don't have Velcro. 
7. I place some adhesive tape to the bottom of the package help hold it in place.

You can try this with all different types of packaged foods and they are great quick gifts.  I found the Lindor Truffles at Wal Mart, the small ones were only $1.00.  A great idea for a little something to leave on someones desk during the holiday season.
