Paper Candy Package Step by Step

Step 1: Paper Base Male

Cut a piece of colored paper into squares, then draw your design using a Sharpie. You can use 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 that the wrong side is facing up. Fold it in half and press firmly along the crease to make a clean fold, then unfold. Next, fold both sides towards the center crease so that the edges meet in the center and press with each fold to form a new crease. Finally, tape the edges together in the center to secure the shape. -
Step 3: Shape the paper

Fold the paper in half, then fold the top and bottom edges inward about 1½ to 2 inches. Next, cut the folded corners diagonally. Unfold the paper, then gently shape it as needed to create your final design. -
Step 4: Finish the candy package

Tie one end of the candy package to the neck using a piece of string, then adjust and shape as needed. Fill the package with candy, treats, or any small items you want to include. Once filled, tie the other end securely around the neck to close the package.
