🧺 What You Need
  • Printer and regular printer paper (US Letter or A4)
  • Scissors
  • Wide clear packing tape (or laminating sheets)
  • Stuffing: cotton balls, yarn or paper scraps
  • Crayons or markers for the coloring version

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Print at 100% (turn off “fit to page”). Color the B/W version first.
2
Cut out the front and back along the outer line – the white border is the tape edge.
3
Cover both pieces with wide clear tape, overlapping the strips slightly, and smooth them out.
4
Place the front and back together exactly (colored sides out).
5
Tape all around the edge, leaving about 1 inch open where it says “leave open here”.
6
Stuff with cotton, yarn or paper scraps – not too full – and tape the opening shut. Done!

💡 Tips

  • Add a bit of tape to the torn wrapper end so it does not rip.
  • Use only a little cotton since the bar is narrow and gets stiff otherwise.
  • Yarn as stuffing makes it extra soft.
  • Tape all the way around, especially at both ends.

🎨 Color Ideas

Caramel Dream
Gold, orange and brown for caramel and chocolate coating.
Nutty Bar
Add small beige dots for peanut pieces in the filling.
Blue Wrapper
Color the wrapper blue and silver, the bar itself dark brown.

🔄 Variations

Bar Keychain
Punch a hole in a mini bar and hang it on a backpack.
Swap Meet
Make three flavors and trade them with friends.

Safety: Stuffing and tape are not for children under 3. Never use real food or scented oils as stuffing.
