Whiff of Joy Project of the month

The Whiff of Joy project of the month is "creative packaging for chocolate". I decided to make a slip cover for a bar of chocolate (my hubby's favourite - I hope there's brownie points there lol). Please pop across to the Whiff of Joy site to take a look at the other DT's projects, they are amazing.

A close up of Melinda Helping Angel which I have coloured with Distress inks and H2O's. Colours used are:
Distress inks: Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw, Broken China, Frayed Burlap
H2O's : Sunburst, Egyptian Gold, Hot Cinnamon, African Jade, Scarab Beetle

The patterned card stock is by Papermania.

As there are so many different sizes of chocolate bars it's difficult to give exact measurements, it's best to measure the bar and score your lines accordingly.

Rough measurements are 8.5 inches (height) x 9 1/4 inches.

Place the cardstock face up (widest part against the top fence) and score at approx 3/4", 1 1/4", 5", 5 1/2" and fold along all score lines.

Place self adhesive tape along the length of the 3/4" section and across the bottom of one wide section

Fold the cover into a rectangle and attach along the length

Remove tape backing and stick the bottom of the cover together.

I found it easier to press in the centre and work outwards.

Run this taped section part way through a crimper to flatten and secure the tape.

Punch a hole through the top of the cover in the center, pop your bar of cholcoate in (if you haven't eaten it by now lol), thread some ribbon through and tie in a bow.

This really is a lot easier than it looks so I hope you will give it a whirl.

Thanks for looking,
