Gen Z Mother’s Day Chocolate Wrappers

By Aryn Henning Nichols | Spring 2025 Inspire(d)

We have a Gen Z kid in the house at Inspire(d) HQ, and she consulted on this maybe dorky, maybe cool Mother’s Day project! Either way, chocolate is definitely a Mother’s Day favorite around here. Download these printable Gen Z Chocolate Bar Wrappers and let your mom know she slays!

How to make your Gen Z Mother’s Day Chocolate Bar Wrappers

Print the template (or templates) you want to gift to your mom for Mother’s Day, and cut along the dotted lines around the design.

Once it’s cut out, you can write a nice, heartfelt message to your mom! This is optional, but as a mom, I can tell you it would be greatly appreciated!

Flip the design over, and get ready to wrap your chocolate bar. You’ll need the glue stick handy, and since you’ll be gluing along the edges, putting a scrap of paper under the template can help keep your table free from glue goo.

Glue along three edges. You’ll want your note to be on the outside of the wrapper, so glue along the left side, right side, and the side where you wrote your note. (FYI, I added “Happy Mother’s Day from Inspire(d)” to the templates after I took these photos, but you will see it on the template print outs.)

Fold the unglued edge of the wrapper up over the chocolate bar. I imagine you wrote your note on the blank side opposite the “Happy Mother’s Day from Inspire(d)” note, but either way, make sure you fold the side in that DOESN’T have your note on it (if you chose to write a note).

Carefully fold the glued side over top the chocolate bar and press down along the edge to stick the glue.

Then, as neatly as you can, press the edges together so they don’t look too crinkled (but it’s okay if they do, because your mom loves you no matter what).

Once both edges are sealed, it should look like this (see, I’ve got crinkles on the left but I don’t care)!

Now, to make it even cuter, carefully trim the edges in a design. You could do little triangle cut-outs like I did, or make it sort of wavy…it’s up to you (or you can just leave it as is)!

Ta da! Cuter, right? You can see the wavy one I did in the background.

Finally, you’re ready to give your mom her Gen Z Chocolate Bar Wrapper gift! Huzzah! I know I would love this gift, and I hope your mom will too! (Maybe she’ll even share her chocolate with you?!?)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
