Tutorial #1 - candy packaging wall art

When I was in high school I did this weird thing where I'd carefully open all my candy so the packaging was as in tact as possible, and then I'd tape it to my bedroom wall. I didn't think it made sense then, and I certainly don't know. However, I've come up with a better way to do it that actually looks decent! This would be best for novelty candies (such as these Spider-Man Popeye sticks I used), unless you just really love a certain type of something.


Supplies

frame

paper (that will at least fit into the frame)

scissors

glue (I used rubber cement)

your candy of choice


First cut the piece of paper down to size.


Then eat/play with your candy to empty the wrappers.


Break down the boxes/wrappers so they're one flat surface. If you're using something made of cardboard (even thin card), I'd suggest laying it flat under something heavy for a little while. I had mine under a few layers of plexiglass for a night.


Position your wrappers however you like, then get to gluing them down!



Once you're done gluing, stick the finished picture into the frame.


Ta-da! Easy, cheap as hell wall art. And you get candy out of the deal.
