As Christmas is approaching, I made up some covered Lifesavers to give to my friends at school. I got the inspiration from the Candy Coins on the Martha Stewart site.
I wrapped rolls of Lifesavers in white wrapping paper, and then wrapped some thin ribbon around the rolls and secured it with double sided tape. I finished it off with some clear cellophane, with the ends twisted, and then tied with pieces of ribbon.
I only have 9 days of Primary school left – can’t wait for the summer holidays!

That looks so cute. I only have no idea what lifesavers are. Candy? Oh well, whatever is inside, the little presents look so lovely wrapped that they will be a feast to receive anyway 🙂

Isn’t it wonderful to have Martha on channel 72!
Enjoy your last days in primary school (I still have my year 7 t-shirt with all the signatures on it), hoping for exciting new adventures for you next year sweetie.

What a great way to wrap these! This technique would be a great way to wrap stocking stuffers too. I love the use of wrapping paper since I always have those extra little pieces cut off the bigger presents.
Carolyn says
Almost too pretty to eat! Great idea!

Cute Cute Cute! I think my daughter and i will have to borrow this idea for her Kindie class. I’m wishing we were heading into summer holidays – instead we are in the middle of winter and it is about 5 degrees here today.
