Mummy Candy Bar Treats
So cute to give to your favorite Ghosts and Gobelins!
Supplies needed:
Scissors
White Crepe Paper (I found mine at the dollar tree. I paid $1.00 for 2 rolls of it)
Black scrapbook paper or construction paper
Glue (stick or squeeze bottle-I actually used both)
Googlie Eyes ( I bought mine at the dollar tree for a $1.00. It has 125 Googlie eyes. It was the LAST package left. )
Full Size Hershey Chocolate Bar
Creating the *Mummy*
This is VERY simple to do! Perfect craft for having those kiddo’s help!
Cut out a black square piece. This does not have to be perfect and glue 2 google eyes to it. Then glue it onto the candy bar.
I used the stick glue to place the paper onto the candy bar. I used the squeeze glue on everything else.
Starting at the bottom on the front of the candy bar. Glue down a piece of the crepe paper and hold it secure. Then start wrapping your candy bar to form your *mummy*.
My crepe paper was a little to wide for my liking. So as I went around the candy bar, I folded it in half and it worked perfectly. When finish tear off the crepe paper from the back of the Candy bar and glue in place!
I am going to be making up about 16 of these. I am going to give some to the kids that ride the bus with my boys at the bus stop. I might even make some for my kids teachers. This took me less than 5 minutes to make.
I found this idea from The Idea Room.
~Enjoy, and have a Spooktacular Halloween!~
Halloween!
