What You'll Need

To make these cool candy wrapper button earrings, you will need...

  • candy / food wrappers (I'm using wrappers from a package of Nutter Butters and Oreos)

  • craft cover buttons

  • pen or pencil

  • scissors

  • hot glue gun or E6000 glue

  • earring back posts and findings

Follow the Cover Button Directions

First, lay out a candy wrapper flat on your work space, and use a pencil or pen to trace a circle around the plastic template including in the craft cover kit. Cut out the circles, and position them into the mold with a cover button.

Then, all you have to do is use your glue gun or E6000 to attach an earring back post and a finding to complete the look!

Delicious Jewelry!

Though these earrings may not be edible, you can make more of these and give them as gifts! You can even make earrings as a gift for someone...just use the wrappers of their favorite cookies or candies!
