I love giving gifts! This love is REALLY showcased during the Christmas season. There is no better feeling than to give a gift and make someone’s day a little better. As much as I love gifting, every year I run into a major issue with my gifts. It’s the lack of money! You know exactly what I mean (unless you’re Bruce Wayne) Christmas can be a very expensive time of year. So, over the years I have spent a lot of time trying to come up with presents that don’t break the bank. In my own experience, I have found that if someone can eat the present they usually don’t care how much you spent on it!
My favorite inexpensive Christmas snack I like to give is Andes Mints because they are truly delicious and about 90% of the world’s population love them! Ok, I totally made up that number but it has to be pretty high. The only issue I have with this box of amazingness is that the package is pretty boring. However, with just a few supplies you can make the world’s best mints into a cute snowman that will make your gift the talk of the town! No joke, I had a guy that I gave one to tell me his wife wouldn’t let him open it because she thought it was too cute!

What You Need!
- Box Of Andes Mints or Other Boxed Chocolate

What to Do!
To begin this cute snowman wrapped candy box tutorial, wrap the Andes Mints or candy box of your choice with the white wrapping paper.
After your candy is wrapped you can move onto the fun part!
Measure 2 inches down from top of box and glue the pipe cleaner to the side of the box.
Cut the pipe cleaner to match the other side and glue down.
Hot glue a 10 mm red or green pom pom to the first side of the pipe cleaner.
Then glue another red or green pom pom to other side of the pipe cleaner so you have a matching pair of ear muffs!
Measure around your box for length and cut the 3/8 inch ribbon. Next, glue the ribbon around the box. Then cut the ends of the ribbon on an angle.
Using the 5 mm black pom poms create his coal eyes. Next, use the 5 mm orange pom poms to make his super cute carrot nose!
Use the mini black pom poms to make the buttons.
Take a Sharpie or marker and draw your snowman’s smile. My snowman has a sideways sassy smile because he’s a little mischievous!
There you have it! Now you can look all crafty and super snazzy giving these cute guys to all your friends and co-workers! Trust me, this snowman wrapped candy box will be the hit of the Christmas season!
