Designing Graduation Candy Wrappers

Designing graduation candy wrappers is an easy way to make extra special party favors for your next graduation party. To make these wrappers, all you need is a good printer, colored paper, scissors, glue and a simple design program like the one offered by Microsoft Office.

Choose the candy bars first

The first thing you need to decide before designing your candy wrappers is what kind of candy bars you want to use. Templates are available for both full-sized and snack-sized candy bars, but if you create and print your wrappers and then buy the wrong bars you have to start all over again. Once you know what kind of candy bars you are using, you know what size of template to use.

Make the wrappers

Online document creation software like Microsoft Office often offers plenty of free templates to its users. If you cannot find these templates on your existing edition of Office, go to the official Microsoft website and download candy wrapper templates there. Other sites also offer free design software that makes creating personalized wrappers quick and easy. Once you have selected the template you like, all you have to do is choose and enter the colors and text you want, and then hit print.

Applying the wrappers

Once your candy wrappers are designed and printed, the rest is simple and straightforward. Cut each wrapper out; remove the exterior wrapper of candy bars like Hersheys, and replace with your own exterior wrapper, securing with glue or tape. If you are using single-wrapper bars like Snickers, center your wrapper over the original wrapper and likewise secure with glue or tape. These graduation party favors are easy to make within minutes but leave a lasting impression on all your guests.

Show your graduate and his or her guests that you care by designing your own one-of-a-kind graduation candy wrappers. Making personalized candy bars is easily accomplished in just a few straightforward steps.
