These printable Christmas candy box wrappers are a fun little DIY gift for the holidays. Tie a bottle brush tree on top with ribbon or twine for the perfect finishing touch.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy little Christmas gift for your kids to give to their friends or to hand out to your students or neighborhood kids, these free printable Christmas cars are sized perfectly to fit around a theater box of candy. Tie a bottle brush tree on top with a bit of bakers twine and you’ve got a darling Christmas gift. And the best part is that you can make a whole bunch in just a matter of minutes.
Materials Needed
- Printable File (Download at the bottom of this post)
- White Cardstock
- Ribbon, String or Bakers Twine
- Bottle Brush Trees
Instructions
Step 1: Download the files at the bottom of this post. There’s a red car and a green car. Load your printer with white cardstock, open the files on your computer, then send them to print. They will look like this:
Step 2: Theater candy boxes are all slightly different in size, so measure the printed car to your box and mark the size you want the wrapper to be.
Step 3: Cut excess paper away using scissors or a paper trimmer.
Step 4: Wrap the paper around the candy box and secure the ends with double sided tape.
Step 5: Using ribbon or twine, tie a bottle brush tree to the box so it looks like it’s sitting on top of the truck.
And that’s it! Done-zo! Aren’t they sooooooo cute? I love them so much and I think my kids’ friends will be thrilled to receive them. Hurray for easy + cute + yummy Christmas gifts!

Thank you so much for these free printables! I love your projects! In spite of owning a Silhouette Cameo for a few years, I’m embarrassed to admit that I still haven’t learned how to use it! So, I greatly appreciate whenever you include jpeg files with your projects! I’m in my late 60’s & didn’t grow up with technology so I’m intimidated by it! But, one of my goals in the upcoming New Year is to master learning to use my Cameo & not fear it! I hope you & your family are safe & well! Have a very safe Merry & Blessed Christmas & a much brighter & safe New Year!

Adorable! What size box of candy fits with this printout?
Jennifer says
This is sized to fit perfectly on those boxes of candy that you sometimes see at movie theaters. You can buy the boxes at the dollar store, Walmart and pretty much every grocery store. All the different types of candies are the same sized box.
Sarah says
Any tips on where to find the bottle brush trees? Super adorable gift idea! Hoping to replicate it for my neighbors.
Jennifer says
Every craft store has bottle brush trees and some people have even gotten lucky and found them at dollar stores. Walmart and Target also carry them.
Rita says

Love the Christmas Candy Box Wrappers! My family had a VW Van like this one in blue and white. What wonderful memories. I tried to download them but had no luck. I think the link might not be working again? Thank you for the sweet memories you brought to mind, and Thank you or sharing your time and talents!
