Remember when I made personalized wrapped sugar cubes to go with my friend Debbie’s shower gift? I’m still obsessed. And this time I made a video to show you exactly how to fold paper rectangles to make individually wrapped sugar cubes. Watch the video and let me know what you think – it’s my first with a voiceover (so self-conscious).
Keep reading for free Def Leppard-inspired wrapped sugar cube printables for you! During trial-and-error of looking at photos of vintage wrapped sugar cubes and experimenting with wrapping I couldn’t get “Pour Some Sugar On Me” outta my head.
C’mon, you know you love this song. Maybe like me you were, ahem, in high school when it came out, and it was one of your varsity volleyball team’s key warm-up songs (and we wondered why the football team always came to watch us). So here are free printable sugar cube wrappers for you that feature choice “Pour Some Sugar on Me” lyrics:
“Pour some sugar on me”
“I’m hot sticky sweet”
“You and me babe hey hey”
“Little miss sugar me yeah”
“Sweet to taste saccharine”
“Sometime anytime sugar me sweet”
“You got peaches I got the cream”
“One lump or two?”
Supplies for making wrapped sugar cubes:
- Kathy’s free “Pour Some Sugar On Me” wrapped sugar cubes printable template (PDF)
- 1/2″ Square Sugar Cubes
(I used Domino brand)
- White paper – get the thinnest paper you can get, it’s easier to fold (if you print at FedEx Office choose their thin 24# laser paper). It would also be fun to try sugar cube wrappers with clear vellum
.
- Paper trimmer OR Self-healing mat
, rotary cutter
and clear plastic ruler
- Computer
and printer

So my former college roommate, who’s getting married in two months, use to play this song. All. The. Freakin’. Time. These will be perfect favors for the happy couple’s Jack & Jill. Thanks for the super idea! :D

Hi Kathy!
Thank you so much – it worked! I am, as we say in my neck of the woods, “stoked”! I have been a journalist for 18 years, BTW, having been a TV and radio reporter and host and now writer, so I know a good voice when I hear one!
:-)
I’ll send pictures when I get my sugars done…and then they can join the ones from France in my handbag…

Thanks, Merry! Glad that you liked them. BTW, I see from your email address (viewable only to me of course) that you might be in Terre Haute (?) – my home town, home of 80s hair band rock forever. Send me a photo of your weekend handiwork and I’ll tweet it out to everyone.

Hi Tamara, I fixed the link so give it a try again and let me know how the folding works for you. I love that you have sugar cubes in your handbag! Much better than those silly packets, yes? And thanks for the kind encouragement!

Hi there, I can’t seem to download the printable with SUGAR on it – only the shower one from the previous post. Is anyone else having trouble? I LOVE these! I have traveled to Europe a few times and have to admit that there are a few wrapped sugar cubes from the last trip still in the bottom of my handbag!! Awesome DIY.

This looks like a fun project! My tween loves to drink peppermint tea with a sugar cube and now I know how to make it more special. Going to “pin” it now!

Well done video and voiceover, Kathy! I may need to do this for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. Thank you for sharing.
