DIY Your Own Candy Wrappers for Halloween!

October is officially here and I’m all about Halloween decor at home.

I couldn’t think a better way to celebrate the spookiest month of the year than crafting something cute, very Maca-Halloween-style. If you’re a packaging lover as me, your heart will be happy to follow this tutorial today, where you’ll learn how to DIY your own candy wrappers using old paper scraps, a very sustainable idea!

Let’s do it.

materials required:

Any wrapping paper of your choice
Paper crimper (I got this one and couldn’t love it more)
Scissors
Zig zag scissors (loved this one)
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Cricut vinyl
Cricut Machine
Your favourite candy

Step one: Measuring & cutting

Firstly, measure the length you want your candy wrappers to be and cut small squares using your favourite paper. As soon as you have all your paper squares ready, grab your candy!

Step two: Fill in the wrappers

Flip the paper down and pour your candy on top in the middle of the square. Fold the paper (like a gift) and add a bit of hot glue to close both ends.

Step three: Add details to the wrappers

Now, let’s use the paper crimper to add a decorative edge to both flat ends by pressing it like a roller, you will LOVE this step! After you finish, cut the edges with the zig zag scissors.
