Step by step tutorial on how to use MS Word to create custom candy bar wrapper for to fit any theme of any, anniversary, birthday, wedding, shower or party.
I made one along with you while watching the video. Needed to make one for my mother's 80th birthday party and it came out great and I learned things Word could do that I didn't know. I put pictures on the wrapper too - one of her as a kid, and one today. Thanks. Good stuff.
This was a good video. I would like to have had it go a bit slower so I could find the areas where the specific items were to click on. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Hi Tracey since I discovered your channel that has become my go to channel. I have learned so much from you. I made Alice in Wonderland water bottle labels, cup cake toppers and I can't wait to for another birthday to create something else, Thank you for all your time you invest in making these videos.
Tracey, I love all your videos. You have helped me with my last project. I was able to do some tags for lollipops. I have learned so much can't wait for the next video, please keep doing them.👍👍👍☺☺
Thank you this is so cool. Learned so much. Much appreciated. Valentine day is around the corner, if possible can you do a video on valentine wrapper for kids to give out at school, kids will be so excited if we can personalize for each kid name. Thank you 😊
Dear Tracy,I have learnt SO MUCH from your tutorials at this age of 74years ,I would like to know how to use paint ,writing in spiral,whether we can convert images in PNG FORMAT PLEASE HELP
Some of my tutorial do cover writing in spiral, please take a look at some of my circular tag videos....I can look at doing a little more in paint but it's a pretty limited application when you're looking at creating graphics. What do you mean by convert images in .PNG. do you mean convert non-.png images to .png?
HELP. I am stuck on the candy wrapper. It looks easy enough but I am going to blame my computer. I cannot get the picture to stay on the rectangle nor the right sizing. I am working with windows 10 and is new to me. What I am doing wrong? Thanks. Arlene Hull
+tracey hull How do you find/get the measurments for candy wrappers? And is there a reason why you didn't just use shape fill instead of inserting the image?
So I find the measurements by buying a candy bar, cutting paper down until it fits perfectly...trial and error. As for the shape fill.....if you do shape fill, it will elongate the picture and distort it, there is a tile feature but unless the image you use is exactly square, the image wont tile correctly...hope that helps.
Please explain if for printing this your candy wrapper more on a page at a time, There are so many inserts , all the inserts have to be grouped to move the complete design ??
I'm sorry, I don't understand....are you trying to print more than one on a page? Then yes, the easiest would be to group as much as possible, copy and paste and whatever didn't get grouped, you can copy and paste individually….
Am after a header for bags as i am a haberdashery supplier am interested in making my own simple label i have bags with white header and centre hole and i have managed to follow your fast instructions pausing alot but some measurements are incorrect and once i wrote 3 lines on both sides blank at back how will it print? 1 label at a time ? and standard paper?
Yes, one label at a time...or you can just create it once and print 25 times...I use standard paper for these as you need to bend the paper, stock paper doesn't bend well.
Have learned a LOT from your videos, Thank you very much Please teach us how to use "paint" in MS Words ,except reducing the images to fill object ,as shown in baby shower sticker (your video with elephant image! ) don't know how to make use of it !!
Tracy all your video tutorials are very useful to me ,learned a LOT ,pl.tell me whether one can change colors in pdf template? . I could change /eliminate things in pdf by using Google ,but cant change individually colors in the mage , it changes totally in formatting to one color only ,may be need different drawing software ?!
You should be able to change in MS Word, but...if it's an image then yes, it will change all the colors in the image...best bet is to search google and find an image that works for you rather than changing it....you might be able to change some colors in paint if you wanted to try that...other than that I use Photoshop....
Great tutorial Tracey, just wondering if there is a particular paper you use for printing. Also I would love to have some more things printed at the back -can you do a tutorial about that....
I do have a video on copying and pasting water bottle labels, just follow that tutorial but I think these are too big to have two fit on one page, although I haven't measured!
You can use a thinner stock paper or regular printer paper...since you need to wrap the candy bar, you need the paper to be malleable, hope that helps!
I use stock paper from any office supply store. Usually the stock paper purchased at craft stores is too think. Normal printer paper will work as well but might show through.
At the beginning of my video I show you my youtube page which has a video called "searching fonts, installing fonts and using symbols" that walks you through everything you need to know.

What's the best printer to use for these which is cost effective?
Thank you for sharing!!! 🙏🏽
What paper are you using to print out you candy bar wraps
This might be a dumb question but How do you print them from word though with just the design and not the background ?

Once you import the image are you changing it to "in front of text"? Are you able to move the image?
This just saved me $$$
I am having a difficult time warping the text box for the symbols. I am using MS 2007.
What do you mean? Are you able to go to Text Effects?
Such a big help!!
Very good video. What paper would you recommend for printing?
What type of paper do you use pls?

don't know how to make use of it !!

What type of paper is used for these?
@tracyhall wat paper do you use
When wrapping the candy bar what do you use as an adhesive to make it stay
Double sided tape is best
Thanks for your videos ,so many things are added how do you move along the paper without grouping ??
I see she is very careful with her cursor
Great tutorial Tracey, just wondering if there is a particular paper you use for printing. Also I would love to have some more things printed at the back -can you do a tutorial about that....
Would you be open to designing a wrap for me an then sending it to me to print out 😊?
for these, regular copy paper works best as it's more pliable
Is there a way a photo can be added to the middle
Yes! My video on How to make cupcake topers and circular tags with a picture" walks you through that exact process
i cant attach the picture of it here in comments do you have an email address that i could use for this purpose?
My Microsoft word doesn’t have shape option
Hi your video helped so much, but how do I get two wrappers on the same page
I do have a video on copying and pasting water bottle labels, just follow that tutorial but I think these are too big to have two fit on one page, although I haven't measured!
What type of printing paper should be used to cover the chocolate bar
I just used normal stock paper you buy at target or OfficeMax...I use brilliant white but anything should work!!
Thank you so much i love your work
I have been working on this for quite sometime now. What happens is that the size keeps changing. I'm on MS Word 2010.
When does the size keep changing? Do the shape sizes change? The images sizes? The font sizes?
can you show us how to add a picture on wrapper
Wow I found my self pausing your video a lot you are going way to fast for a person to learn and follow
What kind of paper can i use?
You can use a thinner stock paper or regular printer paper...since you need to wrap the candy bar, you need the paper to be malleable, hope that helps!
can you show me how to ouline the purse image in design space, to print out and glue to gable boxes.
The purse image? Can you give me a little more description?
Sure, you can use cggbabyshowers@gmail.com
ok i forwarded a picture of the exact thing im trying to make please reply and if possible a precise youtube video thank you (smiles)
which printing paper???
I use stock paper from any office supply store. Usually the stock paper purchased at craft stores is too think. Normal printer paper will work as well but might show through.
I like what I am hearing, but you are going too fast. Do you have step by step instructions wrote out for us to follow?
I don't, the intent is to pause the video and rewind a bit if I you feel I go to fast...
How do I install the fonts
At the beginning of my video I show you my youtube page which has a video called "searching fonts, installing fonts and using symbols" that walks you through everything you need to know.
were you able to respond to my email?
She was going too fast for a beginner. I couldn't follow.
I had some trouble following along due to her moving too fast.
