Oh!
I can't wait to tell you about the candy wrapper fun I've been having. Have you heard of Put A Wrap On It? Brenda, from Put A Wrap On It contacted me to see if I would be interested in trying her customized candy wrappers. Well, let me think for a minute, YES! You know how much the Cheap Chic Homies love our candy projects, like the candy tower and lollipop bouquet. I requested wrappers for mini chocolate bars in the charlotte white design. This is what I received from Brenda:The fun was on to see what I could do with these. Above (you know, way above) I used a round plate with a bowl in the middle. Check out how it was put together.
The white wrappers didn't show up as much as I would have liked on my white plate, so I took a standard square red paper napkin and folded it two more times (in half and half again to make a triangle-type wedge). Then I scalloped the top edge and bottom edge to give it a soft floral shape.
Here it is unfolded. (How easy was that?? Only two snips.) Now look at it on the plate:
Can you believe it turned out so well!? I couldn't. On to the floral lover-lies - I knew I wanted to try pavé -ing the flowers. I found an inexpensive bunch at the grocery store and trimmed them down to about a 1" stem and had some oasis in my stash. (Yes, I felt like Morticia!)
Pretty end result.
Oops, I forgot to show you what I started with, mini wrappers that show you exactly where to use your glue stick (no mistakes!), it is put on right over the existing wrap, I slid one out so you could see it:
Take a look at some other fun I had.
Switched out - there is a candle in the middle that got (oops) cropped out.
Switched up to all red pottery.Using candlestick holders and petite serving dishes.
In a wine glass with a bit of curly ribbon...
This is what Brenda mailed to me -- this wrapper is on a large-sized bar and personalized (which you can have done, too). Now for the fun stuff! Would you like some personalized wrappers for your next party or occasion? Oh, you really would! These are great quality and look so much better in person than on your computer screen - if you can believe that (the chocolate bars are not included). Brenda is letting me give away a

I'm taking my little chocolate birthday cuties to one of my besties for her birthday. (Brenda didn't charge me for the items she sent.)
I'm joining these gracious link parties:
How terrific Kim!! Such a fun site. So easy for me to choose what I'd spend the certificate on...my parent's 50th Anniversary is in August and I'd use it to get the mini's in the 50th Anniversary design. How clever and cute!!

Blessings!

oh how cool Kim! I've been doing candy wrappers and other favors for years. They're most requested for graduation parties, wedding favors and I once did a large corporate event!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I supply all the give-away favors for my husband's company to give to their reps and at trade shows! It's so much fun!
Love how you decorated the plate!
How much fun is that? !!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and just became a follower. I love your last post on ruffles! So pretty! I would use the candy wrappers for my aunt and uncles anniversary party, which I'm hosting in June. She would love it, as she's a big time chocolate lover!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and I would use the pink and orange wrappers in the Happy Birthday section for my daughter's birthday. Joni

ReplyDeleteHey Kim. Don't the simplest things make the biggest difference. I love how that napkin really made it pop. I would have never thought of cutting it. And your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the candy wrappers. I'd like to have the maddie patterned Happy Birthday wrappers. I could use those for so many people and they are so cool.
Hugs...Tracy :)
I like Isi, Jack and ivie black! I like the idea of wrapping the candy bars but I didn't think of wrapping the lifesavers! ~Bridgette
ReplyDeleteOops. I guess I should have split up those two comments for my 1 and 5 entries.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I meant it all.
oooo's...Tracy :)
I'm a follower too Kim!

Kim:
ReplyDeleteI love the Put A Wrap On It site! I think it could be great to have wrapped minis that say "Thank you" for orders from my Boutique! So many wonderful choices, that's for sure.
Thanks again,
Donna
Looks like you had a fun time with those wrappers! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
Thank you for the heads up about this site. I'll be ordering from them very soon!
ReplyDeleteI loved all of the holiday wrappers but also loved the Maddie birthday wrappers. The pink and orange colors just make me smile!
Kim -- and you've been having all this fun without me???? What a great site. I love the Natalie and the Heather. If I had to choose ONE FAV, it would be the Natalie.
ReplyDeleteI also love your post. Girl, you are the epitome of a wonderful hostess. Your displays are gorgeous and really -- I want me some chocolate! You have made it look so inviting!
Kim, where is the CHOCOLATE????
Now if my math serves me correctly, that is six (6) entries!
Thank you, Kim! "Put a Wrap on It" made a good choice with you!
I love this idea! Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog and enjoy it very much!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever and creative!
ReplyDeleteOhh YES! Count me in! I just got SO excited seeing this. I LOVE doing parties (as you know) ;) and these wrappers are seriously the cutest! I'm excited to find out about this. Thank you Kim.
ReplyDeleteOk, this is for the extra 5 entries. ;) I checked out her site and I am a big fan of all the THANK YOU wrappers, especially the ANITA print. What a unique and special way to say thank you.
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!!! And I hope you got in the attic to get those wreaths down...really! You can use those babies year round. Hope you have a great weekend~ xoxox Susie
ReplyDeleteThey are all great (and even better on chocolate) but I'm going to pick the shay congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteI am of course a follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteKim, those are too cute. My daughter's mother in law made some wrappers with the initials and wedding date on them as her favors. They turned out real good. I am a follower. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteI love using customer wrappers. I dicovered them on eBay a couple of years ago and there isn't one party I throw without custom water bottle labels, custom candy wrappers, or stickers to seal my baggies of sweets.
ReplyDeleteloved the wrappers and they are displayed so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey're cute - and you've made so many pretty arrangements with them :)
ReplyDeletei made these one time for a baby shower, such a cute idea!! thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI would pick 'Thinking of you'!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteI love how you decorated the plate with the little candies. I have made these in the past, but never displayed them as pretty as you did! Great project ;)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Love it! (Oh and Happy SITS Sharefest too!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool!
