I made these Owl Chocolate Bar Wrappers to go with the set of owl themed baby shower supplies I’ve been making recently. Mostly because I love the owl, but also because every good baby shower has tiny matching candy bar wrappers. Right?!

Basically, this is the easiest way to add a little something extra to your baby shower to make it look more polished, a little more like a professional party planner put it together rather than just your own DIY.
And having this fun (and easy) print-and-cut Cricut project in your back pocket makes it so that you don’t have to figure out shipping options and shipping charges and all that mess with having something shipped.
No keeping the extras in their original packaging, so you can return them–just print as many as you need, then eat the rest with no upset. Because you made them. LOL!
Also, let’s just be clear–no matter if you like doing little DIY projects or not, these candy wrappers are so easy to put together, it’s kind of a no-brainer to add to your baby shower favors.
So, grab your copy paper and let’s do this.
Necessary Tools:
I know this might seem a little daunting, if you’re not so into crafting like I am, but I’ll tell you now that I only needed two tools to make these. Seriously, here’s what I used to make these awesome baby sprinkle candy wrappers.
- Cricut Explore Air 2 or Cricut Maker
- Desktop Printer
Necessary Materials to Make DIY Owl Chocolate Bar Wrappers:
And the materials to make these Hershey nuggets wrappers are simple, too. To make these easy DIY owl candy bar favors, I only needed three things:
- Regular Copy Paper
- Glue Stick, Tape or Glue Dots
- Mini Chocolate Bars
- Free Printable for the Chocolate Wrappers
Now, let me explain myself a little about the paper choice here…normally, for my DIY baby shower projects, I recommend card stock paper because it’s thicker and going to stand up better to the little bit of a beating the project will receive.
But in this case, you need a lot of wiggle in your paper. Because you’re wrapping it around the tiny candy, card stock is simply going to be too stiff.
So, copy paper is best. Trust me on this.
Oh, and also, I needed my Cricut and the light grip mat. Kind of a given, but just in case.
