Handmade gifts are always highly appreciated, especially if they are practical. Such useful gifts include bouquets of sweets. They will not only please the eye, but also become a delicious stash that will decorate the holiday. Let's figure out how to make such a bouquet in which candy flowers will look nice.

Preparing materials

So, to create a bouquet, you will need corrugated paper, round-shaped sweets themselves, stretch film, which is used to store products. Skewers and foam plastic, as well as the form in which the finished bouquet will stand, will also be useful. Corrugated paper can be replaced with packaging paper. Transparent tape is also useful, it is better if it is matte. And instead of foam, you can use a special oasis to create floral arrangements, which you can buy at a flower shop. So, let's start the master class.

Candy Flower Workshop

All flowers are made in a similar way, so we'll look at poppies as an example. So, to create such a bouquet, you will need red, green and blackcorrugated paper, candies themselves and skewers. Tape or cling film will be needed to secure.

1. First, cut the flower petals out of red paper. Use your fingers to stretch the edges a little so that the paper gets a little frizzy.
2. Now cut the black paper into long strips. Wrap the candy in them, and cut the edge into strips to look like stamens.
3. Let's start collecting the finished flower. We attach the petals to the middle, you can do this with Moment glue, double-sided tape or a glue gun. Shape the flower the way you imagine candy flowers (poppies).
4. Then wrap the flower with green paper cut leaves. Mac is ready. Attach the flower head to the skewer with a strip of cling film. She herself will need to be wrapped in green paper. To keep it tight, we wrap the skewer with double-sided tape before this.
5. Several of these "plants" form a bouquet. Candies will not peek out of the flowers, they will be tightly hidden in paper.

A few more options

If you choose a different shape of the candy, the flowers can be used to build entire baskets or even architectural structures. For example, a gingerbread house or an Egyptian pyramid. If you prefer the classic version, then tulips, roses and peonies will look beautiful. In all cases, the process of making such flowers is identical, the sweets differ (you can choose any of the flowers) only in shape. Effectively serve such bouquets inbaskets, decorating with pearls, artificial branches, sequins, wooden ladybugs.

Unusual Shapes

Once you have mastered simple bouquets, you can start creating more complex shapes. Experienced craftswomen from sweets and cakes make both large ships and fairy-tale castles. To do this, it is better to select sweets in a suitable color scheme so that the overall pattern is visible behind the colorful cover. In addition, it is not worth saving on sweets, they affect the quality of your gift. The finished sculpture can be wrapped in transparent wrapping paper and tied with an elegant bow.
