Disney Character Nuggets

[Mickeyherewecome123]

I've printed some gum wrappers but they are short going around the pack of gum. It is short about 3/8" and no allowance to glue. Why am I coming up short? I actually resized it to 6.25" X 4.167"(it automatically made it that number). Is it only supposed to wrap around 3 sides and then trim off the extra? HELP!! I am trying to get these done tonight but after printing them off and not trying any of them first, I'm messed up!

Thanks!!

I know I am a little late commenting. I printed the wrappers for the gum exactly the same size as Telynn created them and the size was a perfect fit. What kind of gum are you using? I used Juicy Fruit and Extra berry fruit flavor. As I stated in my previous post, it was a tight fit. I just used a tape runner as the adhesive and ran the tape along both sides of the back of the gum. There was no overlapping of the wrapper.

Hope you got yours to work. Your mom is going to love them, they are just so adorable.

Just thought I'd post a pic of some of the nuggets and mints that I made....

Thank you sooooo much for making these! They look awesome! I plan to save these designs to use for birthday parties, etc. But for now I'm going to give them out to our group when they all come to our house the night before we leave for Disney as a grand gathering!

Did you use paper or cardstock?

I was thinking it might be cute to leave one for mouskeeping everyday along with my mouskeeping tip envelope.

This was my first thought as I was looking at these! They are awesome!!! Thank you for sharing with all of us.

OMG! They DID turn out GREAT! Thank you for sharing the picture!

I used regular paper for the nuggets, and light cardstock for the mints/lifesavers.... DH just rolled his eyes at yet ANOTHER project from the DISboards!!!!!

these turned out great, I am making some for dgs 5th birthday party on Sat., it is a cars party.
wanted to know if you have anything with Tweetie Bird? One of the guys I work with will be retiring soon and there is a story that has been going around about him on a diving board, years ago, in his "Tweetie Bird" boxers so I want to make them for his retirement party. I am going to do him a t shirt and boxers with Tweety Bird on them.
thanks
Dean

I made my first few nuggets the other night and they turned out GREAT! I taped the heads to the top of the nugget (flat) instead of upright to make sure they would still look the same when I send them to my mom in her basket. They look really cute flat like that as well. I'm with the pp who said her DH just rolled his eyes at her. Mine does the same and says..."You are such a geek-but you're my geek!".

Telynn,

If you would like to, and ONLY if you would enjoy it , is there any way you could do a few of the mint wrappers that say something other than Thanks? Maybe have a good day, or Disney 2008, or something (I really don't have a specific preference)? I'd like to add these to my family suprise gifts for our September trip. If you have to pass on doing this, I can probably figure something out with a text box in Word.

Telynn - you are such a sweetheart to do all these for everyone! They are awesome and so are you!

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to make these. I can't thank you enough Telynn.

Thank you both! I've been inspired by the great DISigners here and I'm having a blast!

I am also using Juicy Fruit. When it is cut out from the size that automatically goes to the printer (4 X 6), it is still about 3/8" too short. The ends aren't even close to touching each other. I also used the tape runner down both sides but the backs of the gum are almost all open! Yikes!

I print everyday from Photoshop. I can't figure out why they won't fit. I have tried checking to see if adjusts the size but it doesn't. I printed it larger (7" instead of 6") and that fits really snug and then have to cut off the top. Now my tape runner isn't holding! I woke up this morning and they had all popped! Maybe I need to walk away from these for a few days and come back to them!

Hi Telynn
I'm from the UK and we don't have Hershey's nuggets However, I have discovered that the mint wrappers are perfect for covering our little treat size bags of Cadbury's buttons.
I am travelling to the World with 2 friends and between us we will have 3 children (2 boys and a girl). I wanted to leave buttons wrapped in your beautiful disigns as a daily gift. To this end, I wonder, if you're not too busy, whether you could do me 4 more boys disigns for the mint covers (eg. Donald, Wallee, Aladdin, Peter Pan or whatever you think) and 4 more girls disigns (eg SnowWhite, Belle, Giselle, Jasmine or again, whatever you think). It would be great if you could leave them blank as I think I can add my own messages (I hope!).
I realise you are busy so don't worry if this is not possible, but I would be so grateful.
any thanks for sharing your time and talent

Hi Tinkerbell766!

I'll be more than happy to do this for you! I'll get right on it!

I reposted the gum wrappers (replaced the originals within this post) resized both a little wider from the original image then resized the entire page. Did you use the reprinted versions? Are they working for you?
