To start, I found a cute printable snowman image on google and printed it out on plain white copy paper. I did have to adjust the sizing until I got it to the size I wanted. Then I gathered up some of my favorite Xyron products, the Xyron Mini Hot Glue Pen and Xyron Tape Runner. I also grabbed some yummy full-size candy bars to use inside the snowman wrappers.

Once I had my snowman printout sized and cut to size, I then wrapped it around the candy bar and adhered it into place using the Xyron Tape Runner.
Next, using a piece of felt that I measured to be able to wrap around the candy. I then added a line of hot glue using the Xyron Mini Hot Glue Pen along the bottom edge of the felt and folded it up to create about a 1/2" hem. I chose the Xyron Mini Hot Glue Pen because I love how you can do a thin line of glue exactly where you want it.
Then added another line of hot glue and wrapped the felt around the top end of the snowman candy wrapper all the way around so it overlaps slightly.
I then tied a piece of twine about halfway up the felt into a bow and the top half of the felt was cut down to the twine in strips to create a fringe. For the scarf, I cut a long strip of felt to wrap all the way around the wrapper and adhered it in the back slightly overlapping using the Xyron Mini Hot Glue Pen. Then using a shorter strip of felt, I folded it in half and cut the ends of the felt to create a fringe. I adhered it to one side of the felt strip that was wrapped around the candy.
See how cute they turned out? All you have to do is slide the candy bar of your choice inside and they can be reused on a new candy bar after their original candy bar has been eaten.
