I first made these a long time ago….and decided since Easter Chocolate isn’t really that nice, I’d do some Easter gifts using bars of Lindt chocolate – these would also be perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s or Father’s Day just change the decorations to suit.
The template I modified from here to suit my chocolate block size and card stock that I had available. I used a 2″ circle punch to cut out the top circle, but did not slit the hanger to get it over the door knob like they did, as if you do that it will not stay hung up, it’ll just fall off.
The card stock that I used was 12″ x 5 1/2″ and the measurements that I used for scoring along the small side are 1/2″, 1″, 4 1/2″, 5″. I then turned the card stock and along the long edge I scored at 9″, 9 1/2″ and then cut out the tabs etc. as per the diagram in the link – sorry but by the time I would spend trying to digitally create a template for this blog post I could have blogged 6 other posts – so you’ll have to cope with their diagram and my measurements!
The Early Expresso belly band is 2″ wide and the Granny Apple Green insert is 6″ x 3″ in size. The stamps I used to decorate these are from Best Bunny with several being fussy cut (i.e. cut with scissors) and the leaves and other die cuts are from the Foliage Frames dies in Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and gold foil card stock.
You could easily adapt this for other occasions by e.g. using the presents from Best Bunny or flower punches or dies for Mother’s Day, you really are only limited by your imagination! You could of course over wrap the chocolate bar with designer paper to make it co-ordinate even more, although as I’d used real read card stock we found in class that the red milk chocolate or the brown dark chocolate Lindt packaging looked fine without the over wrap.
