These are great tucked into your tree to bring that little bit of chocolate to your holiday celebrations.
Items you will need:
chocolate bar wrappers, ideally with stiff paper, as they need to be folded
string
glue stick or craft tape
scissors or a large circle punch if you have one
awl and ruler
pencil
Each ornament uses four to six circles. Cut 4 to 6 circles of the same size using your scissors or circle cutter.
I’ve shown you what mine looks like here. It allows you to change the size of the circle.
You can always trace a glass if you need a template. Fold each circle in half.
If you have an awl and a ruler you can score your piece of cardboard to produce a crisper fold. Be sure the good side is folded in. Then take those pieces and glue them together. Glue the backside of your folded half circle so the curve matches.
Continue with 4 to 6 pieces, inserting a folded string as you join the last side to the first circle. Let dry if you are using glue. If you have clothespins, using them will help it dry flatter.
Once dry hang on your tree, from a wreath, add one to the top of a gift, or use to fill a bowl (maybe leave off the string for these ones).
