The photos presented in the work will help you figure it out. Let's start the fun process.

Making a candy bouquet: corrugated paper roses

Creating a candy bouquet in the form of handmade roses for both beginners and professionals is quite an interesting activity.

In order to make a bouquet of corrugated paper sweets, you need to use the following materials:

• round sweets;
• corrugated paper in pink and green (or any other shade of your choice);
• glue;
• double sided tape;
• scissors;
• satintape;
• toothpicks or canape skewers;
• decor;
• a small basket.

Having prepared everything you need, start boldly making an original bouquet with corrugated paper sweets.

Creating a rosebud

1. Cut out the base for the rosebud from crepe paper - two 7 x 8 cm rectangles.



Round off one end. Using your fingers, gently stretch it from the center to the bases for a natural look.

2. Next, wrap the candy in your "bud", fixing it at the base with glue, and fasten it to a toothpick or skewer, carefully tying it with a thread.



3. Start making rose petals. Depending on your preferences, you can make a half-open bud or a lush flower. To create a classic rose, prepare eight pieces of crepe paper for the petals. Their dimensions should be 2 cm smaller than the bud.
4. Wrap each petal with a toothpick from one end.



Then stretch in the center to shape. Using glue, attach to the base of the bud. To make your rose look neater, apply glue to the non-rounded ends of the petals. They should be attached to the bud in two layers. The first row - three things, the second - five things.

You should end up with a pretty rose.

Leaves forroses

Green corrugated paper is recommended for realistic rose leaves.

Cut out small rectangles from paper - 2-2.5 cm. Then make veins to make a crown-like blank. Attach the resulting figures to the base of the roses with a thread. Do not use tape - it will be too noticeable and visually increase the base of the rose.

It remains to put the resulting roses in a basket and decorate. Corrugated paper can be placed at the bottom of the basket.

Your beautiful candy bouquet is ready! Corrugated paper roses are waiting for their lucky owner!

Let's look at another interesting design for a candy flower arrangement.

Candy tulips

Before starting work, you need to decide on the choice of flowers, the shape of the bouquet, sweets and additional materials.

So, you will need:

• crepe paper in four vibrant colors;
• green teip tape;
• floristic wire;
• double-sided adhesive tape - 1 m white base;
• satin or packing tape;
• transparent beads to simulate dew;
• tools: wooden stick, scissors, pliers.

Make a bouquet of tulips from sweets and corrugated paper

1. Cut a long strip of corrugation into two equal parts. After that, cut each one into four more equal parts. You should end up with eight stripes.



It takes six strips to make one tulip.

2. Next, each strip must be turned in the center and bent so that the front edges look in one direction. Stretch the paper slightly at the bottom edge. In this way, prepare six blanks for one tulip.
3. Take a short wire and tape the end. Screw the package of candy to the wire.
4. Let's start assembling the tulip elements. Take the first blank and glue it to the wire with tape.
5. Place two other blanks near the candy, holding with your fingers. Wrap tightly with tape.
6. Now arrange the second sides so that the corrugated paper takes the shape of a tulip. Tape two tails first, then secure the third.
7. Do the same with the remaining three blanks. Trim the excess edges of the crepe paper at an angle at the base of the bud. If desired, you can trim after the first row of petals. Wrap the flat part with teip tape and wrap the rod to the very end.
8. Make leaves for the tulip. To do this, you need to cut off a strip of corrugated paper. Then you need to cut it into two unequal parts, one blank should be slightly longer. Fold each piece four times and cut out the leaves.

Assembly

Do you dream of learning how to make bouquets of sweets and corrugated paper? The master class below will help you make your dream come true.

To make the leaves look natural, use a wooden stick. Each leafit is necessary to stretch the wand in a spiral. First, place a short sheet and fix it with teip tape. Place a long leaf a little lower along the trunk and fix in the same way.

In order to start collecting tulips in a bouquet, you will first need to pull off two tulips using teip tape. Then add one tulip in a checkerboard pattern, alternating flowers of different colors.

After assembling the tulips into a bunch, cut twenty more leaves, just like for flowers. Arrange the resulting leaves around the perimeter of the bouquet and fix three pieces with teip tape.

It remains to wrap the resulting corrugated paper candy bouquet in wrapping paper or cobweb.

To complete the work, tie the bouquet with a ribbon. If desired, one transparent dewdrop bead can be glued to each tulip.

Conclusion

It is possible that the first time the perfect bouquet may not work. However, you can learn a little and eventually reach a decent level of design of "sweet" compositions, becoming an experienced florist.
