Paper Candy Package Step-by-Step
Step 1: Male the Paper Base
Cut a piece of colored paper into a square, then draw your design using a Sharpie. You can use either textured or plain colored paper, but thicker or sturdier textured paper works best for this project.Step 2: Fold and Secure the Paper Base
Flip the paper over so the wrong side is facing up. Fold it in half and press firmly along the crease to create a clean fold, then unfold. Next, fold both sides toward the center crease so the edges meet in the middle, and press along each fold to form new creases. Finally, tape the edges together at the center to secure the shape.Step 3: Shape the Paper
Fold the paper in half, then fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1½ to 2 inches. Next, cut the folded corners diagonally. Unfold the paper, then gently shape it as needed to form your final structure.Step 4: Finish the Candy Package
Tie one end of the candy package at the neck using a piece of string, then adjust and shape it as needed. Fill the package with candies, treats, or any small items you want to include. Once filled, tie the other end at the neck securely to close the package.
