have been looking for the pattern featured in your feb -mar issue for paper wrappers for mini chocolate bars. if you could get back to me i would be glad thanks .
Hi, Luann,
We did not include patterns for the candy bar wrappers. All you need to do is to cut decorative paper or card stock to size, so it easily wraps around the candy bar, and secure it with clear tape. From there, you can add stickers or tags that you find at a craft store, or make your own. Let your imagination be your guide.
Your friends at Country Woman
