Thanksgiving Gum Wrapper...I made a Christmas one too! Check the link. - The DIS Discussion Forums

jtanddolly · 10-28-2009, 06:27 PM

Here is a link to examples that I found and fell in love with and decided that I just had to try to make one. They remind me of Telynn's cute candy wrappers. I really miss her GREAT candy DISigns!!!

Here is a link to a website where I found examples of gum wrappers that I patterned mine from:
http://lindalucine.com/id36.html

Here is an image of the template that I made...if you like it get it from my 4shared file. I posted the link below. If you save it from this thread...it takes out the extra white space and then the dimensions are not correct. This image is 8.5 x 11 and when you go to print it...there is enough white space around the edges that it will print just fine.

I DELETED THE GUM WRAPPER IMAGES BUT THEY CAN STILL BE FOUND IN MY 4SHARED FILE IN THE LINK IN MY SIGNATURE. LOOK IN THE "CANDY WRAPPER" AND "GUM WRAPPER" FILES.

Here is a link to the gum wrapper in my 4shared:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/22480938/..._Wrappers.html

Directions for how to make it:
I generally set mine up in Word but you can print directly from the original jpeg image...just make sure that it is 8.5x11 inches.

To set up in a word document:
Open up a word document and set the margins all to "0" you can do this by going to "file" then "Page setup" and set all of the margins to "0". When you see the popup that says "...outside the printable area..." click "ignore" then "okay". I left enough white space that it will print just fine!

Next insert the image into the Word document by going to "insert" then "Picture" and "from file". (Hopefully you will remember which picture file you saved it in!) Then click on the image and go to "format" then "picture" and in the "size" tab...make sure the size is set to 8.5x11.

Once it is all set up...you are ready to print and trim out all of the images on the page. Make sure you use cardstock as regular paper is not sturdy enough to stand up. Trim out all the way around every image.

Then take the rectangle image with lines and wrap it around the pack of gum making sure that the lines match the corners of the gum and secure with double sided tape. This is the cheap gum like juicy fruit or big red...you know the original gum that used to come in sticks.

Next, you will have to line up the gum on the front of the image...then fold the bear/turkey's legs and feet underneath the gum so that the image is L shaped. Then adhere the gum to the bear. The gum will help the bear/turkey to stand up on a table.

YOU CAN FIND A PICTURE IN MY 4SHARED FILE.

Hope someone can use these.

I haven't made a Christmas one yet. But I have a Thanksgiving Bear and a Halloween Rabbit. They are in my 4shared file with the ghost. When I find a good image...I will try to make a Christmas one.
