hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world today I'm gonna teach you how to take
these candy wrappers and turn them into a hair accessory that is so sweet you'll
want to make dozens I'm going to show you how to do it right now
for this project you'll need a hair elastic clip pin or barrette hot glue clear
cellophane tape candy in colorful wrappers an exacto knife scissors four
inches of 5/8 inch wide ribbon jewels which are optional and a work surface
for cutting the first thing we're going to do is we're going to decide which
candy we're going to use I'm going to use the KitKat bar but the ring pops I
think are really fantastic first thing you're gonna need to do with a KitKat
though is because it's a full-sized candy bar you need to break it so
just break it along those edges flip it over onto the back now you're gonna need
to be very careful when you do this you're gonna use your exacto knife to
gently cut through the first layer here of the plastic just that first layer try
not to go all the way through to the front and then just pop your candy out
one by one set that aside for later or you can munch on it while you're working
flatten this down so you get all the air out of it and take your cellophane
tape and fold over the edge so see how it has that little like sealed edge
there what you want to do is fold that over onto itself and with cellophane
tape tape it down you do want to make sure that you get that edge because
those edges I'm gonna go all the way to that edge because those edges will pop
up otherwise so you can use as much as tape as you need
should just seal it and secure it and then do the same thing on the other side
fold that over onto the backside here and just seal that up with your tape so
that it now looks like that nice and flat fold it over onto its back and fold
it up in half and then crease it really really good now you're going to need
your tape for the next step so what I'm going to do is actually prep this piece
ahead of time so I'm going to take some tape about two-and-a-half three inches
of tape and I'm going to cut it right down the center so that I end up with
two thin strips of tape and place it right here right here so that I can get
to them when I need it so back to what I was doing which is on the back side
front facing down fold it over in half then take this edge and fold it to the
middle so the one edge goes to the middle then flip it over and take the
other edge to the middle and crease really good find the center you can fold
it in half to find the center and pinch it with your fingers and take one piece
of tape and right at that center point wrap that tape around and around so they
end up with your bow shape now you're not done yet though you want to flatten
this out a little bit so take your finger and push it down straight down to
make it pooch open take that piece of tape and wrap it around now for this
next step if you want to you can use duct tape or glitter tape or any other
kind of tape you would like but I'm actually going to use ribbon because I
just think ribbon looks nicer you want about four inches of ribbon
take your ribbon flip your candy over and you're going to
place glue about half an inch to three quarters of an inch down see that
and then you're going to place this on the front edge of your candy right in
the middle now push it down and take a little bit of glue right on the edge of
this ribbon as close to the edge as you can get
now let it dry for about like 10 seconds just so you're not going to burn
yourself when you fold this over so now you've got it sealed like that and we're
going to attach whatever back we want so in this case I'm going to use a
scrunchie so pull this through your scrunchie add some hot glue here that's
gonna be for your scrunchie just place it right on top there be
careful of your fingers now add a little hot glue behind and on top of the
scrunchie so that you can wrap this up and over
that's secured now you're gonna come around wrap it again
to make this nice and neat and pull it around to the back and once again this
is going to just secure it to make sure it's nice and tight and then it's not
going anywhere and you can cut off any little bit of extra that you have there
and there you've got it sealed now at this point you just fluff it up a little bit
and you've got your bow and if you want to you can add a fabulous jewel in the
center and that's how you turn a recycled wrapper into a super sweet hair
