InkjetSuperStore Blog: Recycle Halloween Candy Wrappers - Bead Template

Recycle Halloween Candy Wrappers - Bead Template

Don't know about you but I managed to high jack my kids trick or treat candy after they went to bed, very late actually after the sugar rush. I took away half and I'm still giving them some little by little. Now what I do find all over the place is candy wrappers and when I found this idea I loved it, being the recycled minded person I am...well at least I try to be.

Basically what you need to do is print the template, cut the wrappers and then let your imagination run wild. Here are the materials you'll need:

Clean candy wrappers
Toothpick
Scissors
Clear tape
Non-permanent marker
Bead template
Jewelry findings

1. Download, print and cut out the bead template. Trace onto your candy wrapper with your marker and cut. Wipe away any marker left on the wrapper. Tip: If you’re candy wrappers are too short for the template, you can always tape them together to make them longer. 2. Place the cut candy strip onto a flat surface with the printed side face down. Lay your toothpick on the widest end and roll it up.
3. Cut tiny little pieces of tape to about 0.5×0.25 inches. Use one of these pieces to secure the end of the rolled bead.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to make as many beads as you’d like. Then use the beads to create your own jewelry. To make a simple necklace or bracelet, string the beads onto stretchy cord. Good lengths for a necklace and bracelet are 16 inches and 6 inches, respectively. You can also add little seed beads in between the wrapper beads for extra glitz or try your hand at a candy wrapper cuff style bracelet.
