A bouquet of sweets is a gift arrangement made of various decorative materials, the main of which are sweets of various varieties: chocolate truffles, medals, bars, caramel and others. The composition can consist not only of candy "flowers" and have the shape of a bouquet. You can also make beautiful ships, balls, musical instruments from sweets - in a word, the choice of the shape of the "bouquet" can be limited only by your imagination. Sweets are attached in a special way to the "stems", which are then stuck into a special base.
It is necessary
- - sweets (factory or homemade);
- - wooden skewers;
- - multi-colored tape tape;
- - scissors;
- - tapes;
- - corrugated paper;
- - decorative paper (matte and / or glossy);
- - transparencies;
- - floristic foam / polystyrene / foam rubber;
- - a container for a bouquet.
Instructions
Step 1
Come up with an original shape of a candy bouquet, which will depend on who you are going to present it to and on what occasion. Pick up the necessary materials for decorating the bouquet - the sweets themselves and additional decor, possibly with images of the symbols of a particular holiday. Also, a bouquet of sweets can be used to decorate the main gift - for example, put it in the paws of a teddy bear, put it in a beautiful gift vase and even cover a laptop with candy "flowers".
Step 2
Make the required number of "flowers" from the candies. To do this, you need green "stems" on which the "flowers" are attached. Wrap ordinary wooden skewers with sticky green tape, available from florist stores, and the stems are ready to attach the candy to.
Step 3
The first method of attaching the chocolates to the skewer is suitable for truffle chocolates. Wrap the prepared stalk with the tips of the candy wrapper and wrap the wrapper with green tape tape, grabbing the skewer itself (about half of its length).
Step 4
The second method allows you to disguise variegated wrappers, give sweets of different varieties a single color and shape, and make the composition really look like a bouquet of flowers. If you don't want to hide the candy wrappers, use transparencies and cut a rectangle out of pretty wrapping paper (or transparencies) that should be wide enough to wrap the candy. The rectangle is about twice the height of the candy. Wrap the paper around the candy in a cylinder shape. Insert the "stem" into the cylinder from below, press the bottom of the paper tightly against it and wrap it with tape, fixing the candy well on the skewer. Gather the top of the paper cylinder by tying a narrow bow-shaped packing tape.
Step 5
Candy in the form of paper cones is shaped in the same way. The decorative paper is wrapped around the candy in a "bag" so that the free (wide) part of the cone can be pressed against the stick-stick and attached with adhesive tape.
Step 6
Spherical candies, chocolate "medals" and other candies that do not have wrapping "tails" can be fixed on the handle in the following way: place the candy in the center of a square made of beautiful paper or transparent film and wrap the free edges of the square tightly around the handle using adhesive tape.
Step 7
The resulting "flowers" can be collected in bouquets in this form, or you can use them as cores for more naturalistic flowers from corrugated paper or satin ribbons. Place paper or ribbon petals around the chocolates attached to the cuttings and tape them to the cuttings with adhesive tape. Thus, the candy will be in the center of the beautiful flower.
Step 8
Prepare additional decorations on the cuttings to complement the bouquet. On skewers or thick wire wrapped with colored tape, you can tie beautiful ribbon bows, strengthen artificial leaves, or come up with other options for jewelry.
Step 9
Prepare a container for a candy bouquet. It can be anything from a flower pot or basket to a plastic cup or napkin holder. Outside, if necessary, decorate the container with decorative material, and inside, place floristic foam (or its substitutes - polystyrene or foam rubber), in which it is very convenient to fix sharp skewers with candy flowers and other decorative elements.
Step 10
In accordance with your idea, stick all the prepared "flowers" and decorations into the floral foam, forming a bouquet. If you use an item that is the main gift as a base, then find a way to fix the "tasty flowers" so that the gift looks neat and the item is not damaged by traces of adhesive tape or glue.
