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 my 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
How to fold wrapped sugar cubes:
Head on over to my personalized wrapped sugar cubes post for step-by-step photos and tutorial.

February 20, 2012 at 4:43 pmThis 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!

February 23, 2012 at 2:03 pmThanks, 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.

February 23, 2012 at 1:41 pmHi 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.
Kathy Beymer says
February 23, 2012 at 2:01 pmHi 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!
Tamara says
February 23, 2012 at 1:57 pmPS you have a lovely voice!! Don’t be self-conscious!

February 23, 2012 at 9:54 pmHi 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…

January 30, 2014 at 9:58 pmHi Barbara, do you mean the Pour Some Sugar On Me wrappers? I made them and give them away for free …I am an 80s junkie.

These looks fantastic! I want to try that out on a special occasion coming up. One question though: To use your template I have to find cubes of matching size. But I am in europe and Domino Sugar dots are not “readily available on our side of the pond”. Could you possibly inform me of the size of these cubes?
Ted says
May 7, 2014 at 2:14 amoops – saw the “1/2″ Square Sugar Cubes” after posting :^S
Another Q: papersize used in template? Made for Letter size or A4?
Kathy Beymer says
May 9, 2014 at 9:59 amHi Ted, it’s made for letter size so I would recommend when you print to make sure that no “size to fit” checkboxes are checked or else the pattern might get stretched. Would love to see your finished sugar cubes! Post me a pic and facebook.com/merrimentdesign and I’ll share them with my followers. I’m so excited that you’re making this! It’s one of my favorite DIY projects.
