HGTV Copycat Candy Wrapper Lampshade
by
Alli
I was thumbing through September’s edition of HGTV magazine (one of my two favorite magazines) and found the cutest little DIY Candy Wrapper Lamp Shade using Starburst wrappers. I knew my 5 year old grandson would get a kick out of it, so I made him one.
I had to unwrap a lot of sunburst candies to get the wrappers I needed (about 50). I couldn’t find the directions on their website, so I’m sharing them here.
You will need:
After carefully unwrapping candies (put the unwrapped candies in a ziplock bag to keep fresh for later), place the wrappers, printed side up, on a sheet of wax paper and iron on medium to get the wrinkles out and to release any bits of candy stuck to the wrapper.
