Everyone loves sweets right. I mean how can you say no to the hundreds of beautifully coloured wrappers? If you love sweets or just love to look at them then this is a simple and affordable craft for you!
What You Will Need:
 |
| Supplies Needed |
- Glass Jar (anykind will work, I got mine pretty cheap at Michaels)
- Elmers Glue or any liquid/gel glue
- A paintbrush
- Your favourite candy wrappers! Yum
First Step: Cut it
- Cut your candy wrappers into pieces. For this jar I used Dum Dum wrappers and I cut them way to small so it took me forever to glue them all on. So, I suggest using some bigger pieces.
Second Step: Glue it
- Add glue to the space where you would like to apply the wrappers. You may want to apply the glue heavily so that the wrappers will stick and not peel off.
Third Step: Stick it
- Then apply the wrappers you may have to do two layers depending on what kind of wrappers you used. The Dum Dum wrappers left a lot of gaps so I just added another layer to conceal them. Also if you are using colourful wrappers it is best if you alternate colour combinations so it does not look clumpy!
Fourth Step: Flaunt it
Display your candy jar proudly and pile it with sweets. Your friends are sure to be envious when they ask where you bought that and your say "I made it because I am so crafty!" Hope you enjoyed!
Bonus Step: Hodge-Podge it
- Hodge-Podging it or adding a extra layer of glue or seal to the outside of the jar when all of the wrappers are in place will help keep it safe and prevent any layers from flaking off.
