The Sweet Little Things

Making your sweets a little sweeter. What a great DIY post over at OnceWed.
Turn your ordinary chocolates and cadies into lovely treats. Super cute.

Start with a chocolate bar, and remove the paper label, leaving the inner foil layer in place. Cut a piece of decorative paper to size and wrap around the bar so the seam is on the underside. Use a piece of double face tape to secure. Tie a ribbon around the middle and attach some trim. I used a paper circle with a rubber stamped monogram, a spun cotton mushroom, a gold seal and a millinery leaf to trim this bar.
Cut out a card stock circle approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter (or use a craft punch). Glue a candy cup (or a mini cupcake liner) in the center of the circle. Place a foil wrapped chocolate in the center. Make a small bow and glue it (using a tiny dot of glue with a LOW temp glue gun) on the top of your foil-wrapped chocolate. Create a monogram using a rubber stamp on a card stock circle and glue in the center of the bow.
