Today I thought I would make some fun candy bar wrappers for my co-workers. I found the fun Christmas Fudge poem on the Internet to put on the back too!!!
You can get the free download for the snowman here. It prints out two to a page. Cut the bottom off at 6-1/4" and then cut the 11" side in half so your piece is 6-1/4" x 11". I scored my pieces at 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 3-3/4", and 4". I used glue to stick the seam together with. I wanted to make sure I used something that would stay. I wasn't sure how long the tape would hold in place but I knew glue would hold, so I went with the glue.
After I glued the seam on the back, I used my bone folder to press it a little. Then I inserted the candy bar. I printed out the poem on a full sheet of label paper and cut it to fit. I was able to get 6 poems on one sheet of paper. After I got the poem on the back I tied a ribbon around the candy bar and made a knot in the front. And that was it. SO quick, SO fun, and I think they are SO cute!!!
The poem can be found below! Have fun making these. I had made them a couple of years ago and they were a hit. I didn't make any last year. I just ran out of time. So today when I was at the store, the line at the register was long (what's new there this time of the year????) and I looked at the tabloids enough to make me wonder what is wrong with celebrities and I noticed the Hershey bars. And the snowman candy wrapper came to mind, so when I got close enough I picked up a bunch and you know the rest!
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,

Dashing from the malls
With groceries yet to buy,
Workshops, kids & housekeeping,
Life's so crazy! Why?
Bells on our telephone ring,
The machine will take the call,
We have no time for family or friends,
It drives us up the wall.
How are you? How's your life?
We really want to know.
Hope you're ready for Christmas,
Now maybe it will snow.
A day or two ago,
We thought we'd make a treat,
For all our special friends--
A Christmas Gift to eat!
Our intentions were top notch,
But our schedules would not budge,
Hence, here's this year's edition of
Homemade CHRISTMAS FUDGE!
