Turn ordinary candy bars into an extra sweet treat this Valentine’s Day with these free printable candy bar wrappers!
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite days. I absolutely love the idea of sharing the love with friends and family. And, of course, giving cute handmade gifts (like this Valentine’s Day Coffee Mug)!
Over the years, I’ve shared lots of fun and easy Valentine’s Day ideas, including Valentine’s Day recipes (like these Red Velvet Donuts), Valentine’s Day gift ideas, and even Valentine’s Day printables.
And today I am sharing another super cute Valentine’s Day idea, one that’s specifically for younger children — free printable Valentine’s Candy Bar Wrappers!
These printable Candy Bar Wrappers are the perfect free Valentine’s printable. They are a quick, easy, and no mess, no fuss gift that’s perfect for preschool Valentine’s and for elementary school Valentine’s!
HOW TO MAKE PRINTABLE VALENTINE’S DAY CANDY BAR WRAPPERS
These Valentine candy bar wrappers make a sweet, yet simple gift that you can have ready to go in just minutes. Plus, they’re free to print off and use (for personal use only, please)!
These cute printable candy bar wrappers come with 2 different, adorable designs that are perfect for young children. One features a monkey holding a heart, and the other has a giraffe holding a heart.
This printable PDF file includes two 8.5″ x 11″ sheets, each of which, once cut, will fit around a standard-size Hershey’s-style candy bar.
WHAT TYPE OF PAPER DO I USE TO PRINT CANDY BAR WRAPPERS?
When it comes to printing printables, the type of paper you use will vary depending on the type of printable. It also depends on personal preference. For best results though, you will almost always want to use high-quality paper.
For these candy bar wrappers, I’ve found that that this Epson Matte Premium Printer Paper works wonderfully. The colors turn out vividly, and it folds nicely around the candy bar.
However, I’ve also found that a standard bright white paper works well, too. This is where that personal preference comes into play. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on something that’s basically going to be torn off and thrown away, you can always use a bright white basic printing paper.
PRINTER SETTINGS MATTER, TOO
Printer settings are also key to making sure your printables come out nicely. So you need to always make sure to adjust the printer settings on your printer. These will vary depending on the printer you have.
Inside the packaging of most specialty papers from Epson, Avery, etc., you will find printer instructions that will tell you which paper settings to use.
In general, you will want to set your printer to its BEST Quality Print Setting AND don’t forget to select your paper type.
Pro Tip: use “BORDERLESS PRINTING” and make sure “SHRINK TO FIT” is NOT checked because you don’t want the printer to shrink the image. You can usually find these settings under the advanced settings option.
TOOLS YOU MAY NEED
These printable candy bar wrappers for Valentine’s Day call for a few basic supplies, most of which I bet you already have at home!
