On the eve of any holiday, everyone starts fussing in search of souvenirs for family members, friends, colleagues. For women, it is easier to choose an interesting thing. But finding something original and unusual for a boss, friend, brother, father often becomes a problem. Actual and fashionable idea - a gift of sweets. For men, compositions are performed in the appropriate style in the form of attributes of professional activity or objects associated with a particular person, characterizing him.

Original candy gifts

For the holidays or just as a thank you, people often give boxes of sweets. It's traditional, but at the same time too common. If you like a non-standard approach, it is better to buy unpackaged sweets or chocolates and create a beautiful composition from them yourself or order from a company. This is usually done by flower and gift shops.

So, you can make an unusual gift for a teacher from sweets. Women most often make bouquets, hearts, hats, cakes, boxes. Although it is interesting to order a composition for a professional holidayin the form of an object directly related to the field of activity in which the teacher is engaged: a writer - a book, a geographer - a globe, a teacher by work - a sewing machine. Such sweet souvenirs will look very original and exclusive.

Male design

If you need a candy gift for men, you should choose the right idea. The following are chosen as an object for a sweet composition:

• car;
• steering wheel;
• motorcycle;
• ship;
• train;
• cannon;
• rod;
• weight;
• mug of beer;
• anchor;
• wheel;
• attributes of success and income (dollar sign, euro sign, etc.).

Often, in addition to sweets, bottles of alcoholic beverages are added to men's compositions. A sweet gift can be made not only in the form of a specific object, but simply as a beautiful combination of a decorated bottle and a "ladder" of chocolates or a candy "pedestal".

What you need

If you want to make a beautiful gift from sweets in the form of some object, you will need to create a frame that is already pasted over with sweets. When you order a gift from the respective firm, you are only asked for candy and money for the work. Nothing else to worry about.

To make an unusual composition with your own hands, you need to prepare the following:

• Candies and small chocolates.
• Frame elements (box, wire, cardboard, paper and gluefor papier-mache technique).
• Heat gun or PVA (usually they connect sweets together in this way).
• Additional decor (satin ribbons of different colors, sparkles, as well as small decorations in the form of stars, hearts).

The style of design and decoration depends on who and for what holiday you are creating a souvenir: a guy for Valentine's Day or a boss on February 23. Although flowers, beads, fabric, feathers, etc. are usually not used in men's compositions, sometimes a gift without decorations will turn out to be too mean. The above details can be added to the bottle or the base of the composition. The main thing is to choose "male" colors.

How to DIY

So, you have chosen which candy gift for men you will make. Regardless of whether you found a picture with a sample of the finished product or came up with an object yourself, you need to do the work as follows:

1. Take a solid solid base larger than the future souvenir, if it will stand on it as on a "pedestal". As a blank, use thick cardboard, plastic, plywood, a box. Decorate this detail with what you have at hand: cover with fabric, paste over with beautiful design paper with a pattern, texture or pearlescent sheen.
2. Form the frame of the composition. A cylindrical box is suitable for a mug of beer, a ball is suitable for a kettlebell. The anchor is easy to cut out of cardboard or plastic. For complex voluminous objects, for example, a car, you can make a frame from papier-mache. The finished object (children's toy) is taken and pasted over with layers of paper cut into small pieces with preliminary drying of the previous laid layer. By the way, the source should be wrapped with a film or a bag so that it is easy to remove the paper shell.
3. Reinforce the fabricated frame on the base.
4. Now the fun part - candy decoration. Most often they are glued tightly to each other so that they create a single surface or, conversely, at a distance in the form of a pattern. In the second case, less candy will be needed, but then the frame will need to be decorated beforehand so that the gaps are beautiful.

That's the whole technology. Any object is executed in this way. Depending on the complexity of the composition - faster and easier or longer.

So, you have seen that it is not difficult to make a gift of candy for men. The main thing is to choose an idea, buy sweets and materials for the frame. Then it will only take time for the creative process.
