I’ve seen several cute candy grams on Pinterest. The ones that start with a large piece of poster board and have several candy bars attached along with words tying in the candy names. So, along those same lines I decided to make some “cheesy” back to school candy packages.

I decided to use Red Hots, Airheads, Extra Gum, Starburst, Crunch and Nerds. I made this printable with a saying for each kind of candy. You can get the printable by saving the image or by downloading it from here:

Supplies:
candy
tags
twine
paper
scissors

wrap box

I planned to just attach each tag directly to the candy packages, but I decided that the tags would be lost. So, I wrapped each package in brown paper.

Using a paper punch, I attached the labels with baker’s twine. I did the packages one at a time so that I wouldn’t mix up the labels.

    Hi, What punches did you use for bursting and red hot? I have been looking for punches like those. Thank you.

      Hi Erin,
      It’s not a punch. I just cut them out by hand. Sorry!

    That’s so cool Tonia. I’ve seen something similar with Australian candy bars but I can’t seem to track down the little sayings but I guess you could just make them up. These are great.Anne xx
