How to Make Fabric Wrapped Candy Bars

This is such a quick and easy way to turn a candy bar into a festive gift! A pre-cut 5” fabric square is the perfect size for wrapping a bar of chocolate, so it’s a great way to use up your spare charm packs. All you need is some adhesive and a few embellishments, and you’ve got a pretty little sweet treat!

Materials

5” fabric squares (I recommend a pre-cut charm pack!)
lace (1/2” to 1” wide)
ribbon
scissors
adhesive tape runner
glue dots

Instructions

Sew a 5” strip of lace across the top third of a 5” fabric square.

Wrap the fabric square around a chocolate bar and secure with adhesive tape.

I found that it was easiest to apply the tape to the candy wrapper, then press the fabric down onto it.

Crafting Tips

Have fun mixing and matching different fabrics and bows to create a one-of-a-kind project.
Try adding additional embellishments like buttons, small silk flowers, etc.
Feel free to attach a tag that’s labeled with a name and/or message.
Make sure to store these in a cool place so they don’t melt! Also, avoid using hot glue.
