1. Download 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. Looking for other things to do with your candy wrappers?
