Are you looking for a way to wrap gifts beautifully? Elongated items such as shaving foam, hand cream, or perfume can be wonderfully presented in a homemade candy wrapper! This playful idea transforms everyday gifts into cheerful eye-catchers. Our detailed instructions with video, photos, and descriptions help you create this original gift wrapping. We put a lot of time and passion into each guide and test everything ourselves before sharing it with you. With different paper colors and decorations, you can customize this wrapping for any occasion - from birthdays to small gestures in between.

Candy Wrapping: Video

Before you start crafting, we recommend watching our video. There we show every step in detail, especially how to get the typical candy shape with the twisted ends right.

Required Materials

For this fun candy wrapping you will need:

  • Colored craft paper (shown here in yellow, but you can choose any color)
  • A pair of scissors
  • A ruler for precise measuring
  • A pen for marking
  • Decorative ribbon or bow (here in red)
  • An elongated gift (shaving foam, hand cream, perfume, cosmetics, etc.)

You should adjust the size of the paper to your gift. For most cylindrical items such as shaving foam or hand cream, an A4 paper will suffice, which you can cut accordingly.

Why Creative Gift Wrappings are Important

The wrapping of a gift is like the first impression of a person - it reveals much about the effort and appreciation behind it. With a creative candy wrapping, you show not only your crafting skills but also your humor. Unwrapping becomes a playful experience that brings a smile to everyone’s face. Especially with everyday items such as cosmetics or personal care products, the unexpected presentation creates a real surprise effect. One could say that shaving foam or hand cream has never been wrapped so elegantly! This type of wrapping is not only more environmentally friendly than purchased gift bags but is also much more personal and memorable.
