Step 1

Gather the following material:

I have include a list of available products for your convenience:

a small wallet or purse
double-sided tape
a pair of scissors
empty colorful candy wrappers

Step 2

Begin by covering the outside of the plastic cup with double-sided tape. This will help other materials stick to the cup and make the foundation of your decoration.

Step 3

Pick out colorful candy wrappers and cut them into small pieces using scissors. Aim for fun shapes like squares, rectangles, or uneven edges.

Smaller pieces work best to mix and alternate colors, so take your time to cut neatly for a polished result.

Step 4

Once the double-sided tape is securely in place, peel off the protective liner from the tape.

Be careful while doing this to ensure you don’t pull up the tape itself. This step prepares the wallet’s surface for sticking the candy wrappers.

Step 5

Carefully place your candy wrapper pieces onto the sticky surface of the wallet. Alternate the colors and patterns for a vibrant and eye-catching design. Press each piece firmly to ensure it adheres to the tape. Continue working row by row for a neat, layered look.

Step 6

Keep adding more candy wrappers until the wallet is completely covered. If you see any gaps, fill them with smaller candy wrapper pieces to create a smooth, seamless design. Be proud of your colorful collage—it’s coming together beautifully!

Step 7

Use scissors to trim off any excess candy wrappers sticking out along the edges of the wallet. This step ensures the wallet looks clean and professional. Take extra care not to accidentally cut the wallet itself, and make sure all sides are tidy.

Step 8

Run the zipper on the wallet back and forth to check for any obstructions. If any wrapper pieces are blocking the zipper, carefully trim them away to avoid sticking or snagging. Ensuring the zipper works smoothly makes the wallet functional as well as decorative.

Step 9

Congratulations—you’re done! Your candy wallet is now ready to show off. Whether you use it yourself or gift it to someone special, it’s sure to brighten any outfit and bring a smile to everyone who sees it. Celebrate your creativity with this unique, sweet design!
