Candy Bar Gift Boxes


My Dad's favorite candy bar is the Mars Bar. We couldn't find them for years. Then, one day at Walmart, there they were at a register. I think I screamed out loud. Now, every time I go to Walmart, I grab a bunch to save for him. My cats like to give him a Father's Day gift every year, they are very thoughtful that way! So, I came up with a idea to package them up. Somebody somewhere probably already thought of it, but I think it's a pretty nifty idea.

I took two clear card boxes and filled them with five candy bars each. They fit perfectly, who'da thunk it?! I found the Fluffles stamp on a clearance rack at Jo-Ann's. I stamped it twice, colored it to look like my fur babies, and then popped it up. I paper pieced the present. Using my nestabilities, I created the round tag and then finished it off with a belly band. My Dad will probably see this post before Father's Day, but I know he will act surprised.

Supplies:
Stamp: Stampendous-Fluffles
Paper: Papertrey Ink, The Paper Company
Ink: Memento
Misc: Clear card boxes, nestabilities, sharpie pen, copics, ribbon, pop up dots, white gel pen, candy bars


Thanks for stopping by,

Beth
